Famous quotes containing the words bow and/or string:

    The worth that worthiness should move
    Is love, that is the bow of Love.
    And love as well the foster can
    As can the mighty nobleman.
    Sweet saint, ‘tis true you worthy be,
    Yet without love nought worth to me.
    Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    ... looped with the creep of varying light,
    Monkey-brown, fish-grey, a string of infected circles
    Loitering like bullies, about to coagulate....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
