Famous quotes containing the words lines and/or attached:

    Child of Light! thy limbs are burning
    Through the vest which seems to hide them;
    As the radiant lines of morning
    Through the clouds ere they divide them;
    And this atmosphere divinest
    Shrouds thee wheresoe’er thou shinest.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    I came to love my rows, my beans, though so many more than I wanted. They attached me to the earth, and so I got strength like Antæus. But why should I raise them? Only Heaven knows.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
