Famous quotes containing the word lit:

    “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)

    “Fine vapors escape from whatever is doing the living.
    The night is cold and delicate and full of angels
    Pounding down the living. The factories are all lit up,
    The chime goes unheard.
    We are together at last, though far apart.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “The boy stood on the burning deck,
    Whence all but he had fled;
    The flame that lit the battle’s wreck,
    Shone round him o’er the dead.

    Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
    As born to rule the storm;
    A creature of heroic blood,
    A proud though childlike form.”
    —Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)
