Lamp Black

Famous quotes containing the words lamp and/or black:

“When the lamp is shattered,
The light in the dust lies dead;
When the cloud is scattered,
The rainbow’s glory is shed;
When the lute is broken,
Sweet tones are remembered not;
When the lips have spoken,
Loved accents are soon forgot.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

“But not the tallest there, ‘tis said,
Could fathom to this pond’s black bed.”
