More on beam
Then when the fugitive word was least expecting it I would suddenly turn the full blaze of my attention back onto it catching the culprit in the beam of my mental torch before it could sneak off again into the darkness.
Alan BradleyAlan Bradley Happiness is being on the beam with life – to feel the pull of life

John MiltonJohn Milton I cannot cause light; the most I can do is try to put myself in the path of its beam. It is possible, in deep space, to sail on solar wind. Light, be it particle or wave, has force: you rig a giant sail and go. The secret of seeing is to sail on solar wind.
Annie DillardAnnie Dillard The morning beam is telling me that it’s action time!
