Melted

Famous quotes containing the word melted:

“Oh, blank confusion! true epitome
Of what the mighty city is herself,
To thousands upon thousands of her sons,
Living amid the same perpetual whirl
Of trivial objects, melted and reduced
To one identity, by differences
That have no law, no meaning, and no end—”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

“I walked abroad in a snowy day;
I asked the soft snow with me to play;
She played and she melted in all her prime,
And the winter called it a dreadful crime.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)

“They have melted into the light
and I am desolate;
they have melted;
each from his plinth,
each one departs....”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
