Light Spirits

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or spirits:

    “But thou beneath the sad and heavy line
    Of death, doth waste all senseless, cold, and dark;
    Where not so much as dreams of light may shine,
    Nor any thought of greenness, leaf, or bark.”
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    “We were as twinned lambs that did frisk i’ the sun
    And bleat the one at th’ other. What we changed
    Was innocence for innocence; we knew not
    The doctrine of ill-doing, nor dreamed
    That any did. Had we pursued that life,
    And our weak spirits ne’er been higher reared
    With stronger blood, we should have answered heaven
    Boldly “Not guilty,” the imposition cleared
    Hereditary ours.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
