Melting Points

Famous quotes containing the words melting and/or points:

    “Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
    Yet slower yet, oh faintly gentle springs:
    List to the heavy part the music bears,
    “Woe weeps out her division when she sings.”
    Droop herbs and flowers;
    Fall grief in showers;
    “Our beauties are not ours”:
    Oh, I could still,
    Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
    Drop, drop, drop, drop,
    Since nature’s pride is, now, a withered daffodil.”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    “We only part to meet again.
    Change, as ye list, ye winds: my heart shall be
    The faithful compass that still points to thee.”
    —John Gay (1685–1732)
