Formal Kinship

Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or kinship:

“Then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part.”

Of finding food, and keeping warm,
Are not like ours, and yet
A kinship lingers nonetheless....”
