Lit

Famous quotes containing the word lit:

    We have lit upon the gentle, sensitive mind
    And lost the old nonchalance of the hand;
    We are but critics, or but half create,
    Timid, entangled, empty and abashed,
    Lacking the countenance of our friends.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Last night
    as if death had lit a pale light
    in your flesh, your flesh
    was cold to my touch, or not cold
    but cool, cooling, as if the last traces
    of warmth were still fading in you.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.
    Edward Grey, 1st Viscount Grey Of Falloden (1862–1933)
