Folded

Famous quotes containing the word folded:

“And then at last our bliss
Full and perfect is,
But now begins; for from this happy day
The old Dragon underground,
In straiter limits bound,
Not half so far casts his usurped sway,
And, wroth to see his kingdom fail,
Swinges the scaly horror of his folded tail.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

“The rounded world is fair to see,
Nine times folded in mystery.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Romance, who loves to nod and sing,
With drowsy head and folded wing,”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
