Rigid Bodies

Famous quotes containing the words rigid and/or bodies:

    “Love is sinister,
    is mean to us in separation;
    makes our thin bodies thinner.
    This fellow Death
    lacks mercy
    and is good at counting our days.
    And Master,
    you, too, are subject
    to the plague of jealousy
    so think:
    how could womenfolk,
    soft as sprouts,
    live like this?”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
