(There is a) Light

Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the man; we shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as (I trust) shall never be put out.
- Hugh Latimer to Nicholas Ridley, 1555

The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.
-Edward Grey, 1916

Our comrades have lit with their very lives an eternal beacon that will inspire this nation and people to rise and crush oppression forever.
-Richard O'Rawe, 1981
