Famous quotes containing the word limbs:
“If a man’s eye falls
on any of her limbs first,
it is stuck on that spot.
No one at all sees her body whole.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“I am the wound and the knife!
I am the slap and the cheek!
I am the limbs and the rack,
And the victim and the executioner!
I am the vampire of my own heart.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“But all its chief delight was still
On Roses thus its self to fill:
And its pure virgin Limbs to fold
In whitest sheets of Lillies cold.
Had it liv’d long it would have been
Lillies without, Roses within.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
