Infinite Light

Famous quotes containing the words infinite and/or light:

    What means the fact—which is so common, so universal—that some soul that has lost all hope for itself can inspire in another listening soul an infinite confidence in it, even while it is expressing its despair?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The wonder of light is your familiar tale,
    Pert wench, down to the nineteenth century:
    Mr. Rimbaud the Frenchman’s apostasy
    Asserts the argument that you are stale,
    Flat and unprofitable, importunate but pale,
    Lithe Corpse!
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
