Famous quotes containing the words adam and/or beck:

    “Certainly Adam in Paradise had not more sweet and curious apprehensions of the world, than I when I was a child.”
    —Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

    “In front of that sinner of a husband,
    she rattled off
    only those words
    that her pack of vile-tongued girlfriends
    taught her
    as fast as she could,
    and after,
    began to behave
    at the Love-god’s beck and call.
    It’s indescribable,
    this natural, charming
    path of love,
    paved with the gems
    of inexperience.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
