Curtains

Famous quotes containing the word curtains:

    “The great secret is no secret
    Senses fit the winds,
    Visible is visible,
    rain-mist curtains wave through the bearded vale,
    grey atoms wet the wind’s Kaballah”
    —Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

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

    “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)
