Soft Hammers

Famous quotes containing the words soft and/or hammers:

“or the warm soft side
Of the resigning yet resisting bride.
The kiss of virgins first-fruits of the bed;
Soft speech, smooth touch, the lips, the maidenhead;
These and a thousand sweets could never be
So near or dear as thou wast once to me.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

“Most of the stone a nation hammers goes toward its tomb only. It buries itself alive.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
