| QUOTATION: | Put out the light, and then put out the light: If I quench thee, thou flaming minister, I can again thy former light restore Should I repent me; but once put out thy light, Thou cunningst pattern of excelling nature, I know not where is that Promethean heat That can thy light relume. |
