Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or thread:
“Mary, hear,
O Mary, marry earth, sea, air and fire;
Our sacred earth in our day is our curse.”

“Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragonfly
Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky—
So this winged hour is dropped to us from above.
Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower,
This close-companioned inarticulate hour
When twofold silence was the song of love.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
