Famous quotes containing the words light and/or poem:
“This Light inspires, and plays upon
The nose of Saint like Bag-pipe drone,
And speaks through hollow empty Soul,
As through a Trunk, or whisp’ring hole,
Such language as no mortal Ear
But spiritual Eve-droppers can hear.”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
“The great poem must have the stamp of greatness as well as its essence.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
