Rigid Foam

Famous quotes containing the words rigid and/or foam:

“They work, and age, and put off men
By being unattractive, or too shy,
Or having morals anyhow, none give in:
Some of them go quite rigid with disgust
At anything but marriage....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“And his wish is intimacy,
Intimater intimacy,
And a stricter privacy;
The impossible shall yet be done,
And, being two, shall still be one.
As the wave breaks to foam on shelves,
Then runs into a wave again,
So lovers melt their sundered selves,
Yet melted would be twain.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
