Enclosed

Famous quotes containing the word enclosed:

    The flame o’ th’ taper
    Bows toward her, and would under-peep her lids,
    To see th’ enclosed lights, now canopied
    Under these windows, white and azure laced
    With blue of heaven’s own tinct.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    One certainly has a soul; but how it came to allow itself to be enclosed in a body is more than I can imagine. I only know if once mine gets out, I’ll have a bit of a tussle before I let it get in again to that of any other.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    When the Prince of Piedmont [later Charles Emmanuel IV, King of Sardinia] was seven years old, his preceptor instructing him in mythology told him all the vices were enclosed in Pandora’s box. “What! all!” said the Prince. “Yes, all.” “No,” said the Prince; “curiosity must have been without.”
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
