Famous quotes containing the words close and/or wound:
“I remember, I remember
The fir trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky;
It was a childish ignorance,
But now ‘tis little joy
To know I’m further off from Heaven
Than when I was a boy.”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
“How poor are they that have not patience!
What wound did ever heal but by degrees?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
