Star Winding

Famous quotes containing the words star and/or winding:

“For rigorous teachers seized my youth,
And purged its faith, and trimm’d its fire,
Show’d me the high, white star of Truth,
There bade me gaze, and there aspire.
Even now their whispers pierce the gloom:
What dost thou in this living tomb?”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

“Man is the shuttle, to whose winding quest
And passage through these looms
God ordered motion, but ordained no rest.”
