Iron Chains

Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or chains:

    The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve.
    Lovers, to bed; ‘tis almost fairy time.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Lap me in soft Lydian airs,
    Married to immortal verse,
    Such as the meeting soul may pierce
    In notes with many a winding bout
    Of linked sweetness long drawn out,
    With wanton heed and giddy cunning,
    The melting voice through mazes running,
    Untwisting all the chains that tie
    The hidden soul of harmony;
    John Milton (1608–1674)
