Scales Fell

Famous quotes containing the words scales and/or fell:

“Love once
Tipped the scales but now is shadowed, invisible,
Though mysteriously present, around somewhere.”

“I fell her finger light
Laid pausefully upon life’s headlong train;—
The foot less prompt to meet the morning dew,
The heart less bounding at emotion new,
And hope, once crush’d, less quick to spring again.”
