Files Longer

Famous quotes containing the words files and/or longer:

“Here files of pins extend their shining rows,
Puffs, powders, patches, bibles, billet-doux.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

“Here at the fountain’s sliding foot,
Or at some fruit-tree’s mossy root,
Casting the body’s vest aside,
My soul into the boughs does glide:
There, like a bird, it sits and sings,
Then whets and combs its silver wings,
And, till prepared for longer flights,
Waves in its plumes the various light.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
