Striped Ties

Famous quotes containing the words striped and/or ties:

    I shall lie folded like a saint,
    Lapped in a scented linen sheet,
    On a bedstead striped with bright-blue paint,
    Narrow and cold and neat.
    Elinor Wylie (1885–1928)

    ... it is nearly impossible to understand those who are beyond our sight, who are not explained to us by ties of birth or the contact of the flesh.
