Ultraviolet Light

Famous quotes containing the words ultraviolet and/or light:

“Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.”

“The wonder of light is your familiar tale,
Pert wench, down to the nineteenth century:
Mr. Rimbaud the Frenchman’s apostasy
Asserts the argument that you are stale,
Flat and unprofitable, importunate but pale,
Lithe Corpse!”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
