Incandescent Lights

Famous quotes containing the words incandescent and/or lights:

“I waited alone, in the company of orchids, roses and violets who—like people waiting beside you, but to whom you are unknown—maintained a silence which their individuality of living things rendered more imposing and in their chilly manner received the heat from an incandescent coal fire, preciously placed behind a crystal glass, in a white marble tub where it dropped, from time to time, its dangerous rubies.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

“O would, beloved, that you lay
Under the dock-leaves in the ground,
While lights were paling one by one.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
