Closed Ended

Famous quotes containing the words closed and/or ended:

    Night hath closed all in her cloak,
    Twinkling stars love-thoughts provoke,
    Danger hence good care doth keep,
    Jealousy itself doth sleep;
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    This conflict between the powers of love and chastity ... it ended apparently in the triumph of chastity. Love was suppressed, held in darkness and chains, by fear, conventionality, aversion, or a tremulous yearning to be pure.... But this triumph of chastity was only an apparent, a pyrrhic victory. It would break through the ban of chastity, it would emerge—if in a form so altered as to be unrecognizable.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
