Famous quotes containing the words veil and/or falls:
“But when the self speaks to the self, who is speaking?—the entombed soul, the spirit driven in, in, in to the central catacomb; the self that took the veil and left the world—a coward perhaps, yet somehow beautiful, as it flits with its lantern restlessly up and down the dark corridors.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“The light of her face falls from its flower,
as a hyacinth,
hidden in a far valley,
perishes upon burnt grass.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
