Close Sets

Famous quotes containing the words close and/or sets:

    The Danaan children laugh, in cradles of wrought gold,
    And clap their hands together, and half close their eyes,
    For they will ride the North when the ger-eagle flies,
    With heavy whitening wings, and a heart fallen cold....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The world can doubtless never be well known by theory: practice is absolutely necessary; but surely it is of great use to a young man, before he sets out for that country, full of mazes, windings, and turnings, to have at least a general map of it, made by some experienced traveller.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
