Tongues

Famous quotes containing the word tongues:

“They say the tongues of dying men
Enforce attention like deep harmony.
Where words are scarce, they are seldom spent in vain,
For they breathe truth that breathe their words in pain.”

Their tongues with tasting, their hands with snowballing;
Or rioted in a drift, plunging up to the knees;”

And Rosaline they call her.”
