Rays Swept

Famous quotes containing the words rays and/or swept:

“Thus while I sit and sigh the day
With all his borrow’d lights away,
Till night’s black wings do overtake me,
Thinking on thee, thy beauties then,
As sudden lights do sleepy men,
So they by their bright rays awake me.”
—Sir John Suckling (1609–1642)

“A courtyard common to all will be swept by none.”
