Felt Hat Industry

Famous quotes containing the words felt, hat and/or industry:

    —No, no thou hast not felt the lapse of hours!
    For what wears out the life of mortal men?
    ‘Tis that from change to change their being rolls;
    ‘Tis that repeated shocks, again, again,
    Exhaust the energy of strongest souls
    And numb the elastic powers.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    The hat I was married in,
    will it do?
    White, broad, fake flowers in a tiny array.
    It’s old-fashioned, as stylish as a bedbug,
    but it suits to die in something nostalgic.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Change of fashion is the tax levied by the industry of the poor on the vanity of the rich.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
