Virtue could see to do what virtue would By her own radiant light. Milton.—Comus.	3
A lovely lady garmented in light. Shelley.—The Witch of Atlas, St. 5.	4
The light that never was on sea or land. Wordsworth.—Elegiac Stanzas. Peele Castle.	5
Farewell! we lose ourselves in light. Tennyson.—In Memoriam, 46, V. 4.	6
Mutually giving and receiving aid, They set each other off, like light and shade. Churchill.—Gotham, Book II. Line 151.	7
