Shoal Light

Famous quotes containing the words shoal and/or light:

    If it were done when ‘tis done, then ‘twere well
    It were done quickly. If th’ assassination
    Could trammel up the consequence, and catch
    With his surcease success—that but this blow
    Might be the be-all and the end-all!—here,
    But here, upon this bank and shoal of time,
    We’d jump the life to come.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Dear friend,
    I will have to sink with hundreds of others
    on a dumbwaiter into hell.
    I will be a light thing.
    I will enter death
    like someone’s lost optical lens.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
