Thread Count

Famous quotes containing the words thread and/or count:

“Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragonfly
Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky—
So this winged hour is dropped to us from above.
Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower,
This close-companioned inarticulate hour
When twofold silence was the song of love.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)

“I should count myself the coward if I left them, my Lord Howard,
To these Inquisition dogs and the devildoms of Spain.’”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
