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)

“The only way to avoid being unhappy is to close yourself up in Art and to count for nothing all the rest.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
