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)

“Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.”
—Aesop (6th century B.C.)
