Curtains

Famous quotes containing the word curtains:

“Even Lust the Master of a hardned Face,
Blushes if thou beest in the place,
To darkness’ Curtains he retires,
In Sympathizing Night he rowls his smoaky Fires.

When, Goddess, thou liftst up thy wakened Head,
Out of the Mornings purple bed,
Thy Quire of Birds about thee play,
And all the joyful world salutes the rising day.”
—Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)

“The fringèd curtains of thine eye advance,
And say what thou seest yond.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“O Time the fatal wrack of mortal things,
That draws oblivion’s curtains over kings;”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)
