Light Leaving

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or leaving:

“We make ourselves a place apart
Behind light words that tease and flout,
But oh, the agitated heart
Till someone really find us out.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“A leaping tongue of bloom the scythe had spared
Beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared.

The mower in the dew had loved them thus,
By leaving them to flourish, not for us,

Nor yet to draw one thought of ours to him,
But from sheer morning gladness at the brim.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
