Raman Scattered Light

Famous quotes containing the words scattered and/or light:

    “Across the lonely beach we flit,
    One little sandpiper and I;
    And fast I gather, bit by bit,
    The scattered driftwood, bleached and dry.
    The wild waves reach their hands for it,
    The wild wind raves, the tide runs high,
    As up and down the beach we flit—
    One little sandpiper and I.”
    —Celia Thaxter (”Laighton”)

    “Once a happy old man
    One can never change the core of things, and light burns you the harder for it.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
