Glories, like glow-worms, afar off shine bright,
But look'd too near have neither heat nor light.
--
Act IV, scene 4. Compare Distance.John Webster
Glories, like glowworms, afar off shine bright,
But looked to near have neither heat nor light.John Webster
Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer.
Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer.
Lead us lest too far we wander.
Love's sweet voice is calling yonder.Johnny Mercer
As in hoary winter's night stood shivering in the snow,
Surprised I was with sudden heat which made my heart to glow;
And lifting up a fearful eye to view what fire was near,
A pretty babe all burning bright did in the air appear.Robert Southwell
The sun can give heat and light to the whole world, but he cannot do so when the clouds shut out his rays. Similarly as long as egotism veils the heart, God cannot shine upon it.
Ramakrishna
We are all worms. But I do believe I am a glow-worm.
