Limbs

Famous quotes containing the word limbs:

    But all its chief delight was still
    On Roses thus its self to fill:
    And its pure virgin Limbs to fold
    In whitest sheets of Lillies cold.
    Had it liv’d long it would have been
    Lillies without, Roses within.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    If a man’s eye falls
    on any of her limbs first,
    it is stuck on that spot.
    No one at all sees her body whole.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    The cannon thunders ... limbs fly in all directions ... one can hear the groans of victims and the howling of those performing the sacrifice ... it’s Humanity in search of happiness.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
