Famous quotes containing the words closely, held and/or company:
“Let us together closely lie, and kisse,
There is no labour, nor no shame in this;
This hath pleasd, doth please, and long will please; never
Can this decay, but is beginning ever.”

As cautiously as Glass
And held my ears, and like a Thief
Fled gasping from the House”

“Some fluctuating notions concerning repentance, virtue, honor, morality ... hovered around Lady Dellwyns thoughts but were too wavering to bring her to any fixed determination. She became a constant attendant from one public place to another, where she met with many mortifications. But yet even these were not quite so dreadful to her as to retire and be subjected to her own company alone.”
—Sarah Fielding (17101768)
