Soft

Famous quotes containing the word soft:

If they have lived in a wood
It is a wood.
If they have lived on plains
It is grass rolling
Under their feet forever.”

“Help me to seek, for I lost it there
And if that ye have found it, ye that be here,
And seek to convey it secretly,
Handle it soft and treat it tenderly,
Or else it will plain and then appear:”
—Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

“The thundering line of battle stands,
And in the air Death moans and sings:
But Day shall clasp him with strong hands,
And Night shall fold him in soft wings.”
