Veil Falls

Famous quotes containing the words veil and/or falls:

    For even within his tent she accomplished his derision;
    She loosed one veil and another, standing unafraid;
    And he perished.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    If thou must love me, let it be for nought
    Except for love’s sake only. Do not say
    “I love her for her smile—her look—her way
    Of speaking gently,—for a trick of thought
    That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
    A sense of pleasant ease on such a day”—
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
