Shutter Curtains

Famous quotes containing the words shutter and/or curtains:

    “The rays which stream through the shutter will be no longer remembered when the shutter is wholly removed.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Even Lust the Master of a hardned Face,
    Blushes if thou beest in the place,
    To darkness’ Curtains he retires,
    In Sympathizing Night he rowls his smoaky Fires.

    When, Goddess, thou liftst up thy wakened Head,
    Out of the Mornings purple bed,
    Thy Quire of Birds about thee play,
    And all the joyful world salutes the rising day.”
    —Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
