Double Locks

Famous quotes containing the words double and/or locks:

    The worst feature of this double consciousness is, that the two lives, of the understanding and of the soul, which we lead, really show very little relation to each other; never meet and measure each other: one prevails now, all buzz and din; and the other prevails then, all infinitude and paradise; and, with the progress of life, the two discover no greater disposition to reconcile themselves.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Many a kiss, both odd and even;
    Many a glance, too, has been sent
    From out the eye, love’s firmament;
    Many a jest told of the keys betraying
    This night, and locks picked; yet we’re not a-Maying!
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
