Famous quotes containing the words counted and/or thread:
“We reflected
If one by one we counted people out
For the least sin, it wouldn’t take us long
To get so we had no one left to live with,
For to be social is to be forgiving.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragonfly
Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky—
So this winged hour is dropped to us from above.
Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower,
This close-companioned inarticulate hour
When twofold silence was the song of love.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
