Clad Steel

Famous quotes containing the words clad and/or steel:

    For hym was levere have at his beddes heed,
    Twenty bookes, clad in blak or reed,
    Of Aristotle and his philosophie,
    Than robes riche, or fithele, or gay sautrie:
    But al be that he was a philosophre,
    Yet hadde he but litel gold in cofre.

    For when they meet, the tensile air
    Like fine steel strains under the weight
    Of messages that both hearts bear—
    Pure passion once, now purest hate....
