Famous quotes containing the words single and/or curtain:
“You have beheld a smiling Rose
When Virgins hands have drawn
Or it a Cobweb-Lawne:
And here, you see, this Lilly shows,
Tombd in a Christal stone,
More faire in this transparent case,
Than when it grew alone;
And had but single grace.”

shall cover you,
nor curtain of crimson nor fine
shelter of cedar-wood be over you,
nor the fir-tree
nor the pine.”
