luminous quotes

Oxus, forgetting the bright speed he had In his high mountain cradle in Pamere, A foiled circuitous wandererötill at last The longed-for dash of waves is heard, and wide His luminous home of waters opens, bright And tranquil, from whose floor the new-bathed stars Emerge, and shine upon the Aral Sea.

-Arnold, Matthew
  Poems:  A New Edition,'Sohrab and Rustrum', l.886^92.
