Straight Arrows

Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or arrows:

“Your stature is modelled
with straight tool-edge:
you are chiselled like rocks
that are eaten into by the sea.”

“‘Tis chastity, my brother, chastity.
She that has that is clad in complete steel,
And like a quivered nymph with arrows keen
May trace huge forests and unharbored heaths,
Infamous hills and sandy perilous wilds,
Where, through the sacred rays of chastity,
No savage fierce, bandit, or mountaineer
Will dare to soil her virgin purity.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
