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.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    I gave him the lead gift in the twilight. What fell was relaxed,
    Owl-downy, soft feminine feathers; but what
    Soared: the fierce rush: the night-herons by the flooded river cried
    fear at its rising
    Before it was quite unsheathed from reality.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
