Silver Weight

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or weight:

    Listen where thou art sitting
    Under the glassy, cool, translucent wave,
    In twisted braids of lilies knitting
    The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair;
    Listen for dear honour’s sake,
    Goddess of the silver lake,
    Listen and save.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    as his weight wilts
    and he is on a porch
    that won’t hold my arms,
    or the legs of the race run
    forwards, or the film
    played backwards on his grandson’s eyes.
    Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)
