Cluster Chains

Famous quotes containing the words cluster and/or chains:

    In a sense the world dies every time a writer dies, because, if he is any good, he has been a wet nurse to humanity during his entire existence and has held earth close around him, like the little obstetrical toad that goes about with a cluster of eggs attached to his legs.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)

    ‘Rise like Lions after slumber
    In unvanquishable number,
    Shake your chains to earth like dew
    Which in sleep had fallen on you—
    Ye are many—they are few.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
