Thread Count

Famous quotes containing the words thread and/or count:

“It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.

And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O, my soul.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“I came as census-taker to the waste
To count the people in it and found none,
None in the hundred miles, none in the house....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
