Spider Bites

Famous quotes containing the words spider and/or bites:

“But chief to heedless flies the window proves
A constant death; where gloomily retired,
The villain spider lives, cunning and fierce,
Mixture abhorred! Amid a mangled heap
Of carcases in eager watch he sits,
O’erlooking all his waving snares around.”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)

“Literature is a toil and a snare, a curse that bites deep.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
