Silken Quotations
Come live with me, and be my love, And we will some new pleasures prove, Of golden sands, and crystal brooks, With silken lines, and silver hooks. John Donne There is nothing holier in this life of ours than the first consciousness of love, the first fluttering of its silken wings. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue. Henry James Moderation is the silken string running through the pearl chain of all virtues. Joseph Hall |
