Warmed

Famous quotes containing the word warmed:

    Me of my lawful pleasure she restrained,
    And prayed me oft forbearance; did it with
    A pudency so rosy the sweet view on’t
    Might well have warmed old Saturn; that I thought her
    As chaste as unsunned snow.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I have lived in both worlds. And I think I prefer, to the indifferent, haphazard, money- mad hurry of the Outside World, that of my world; that sympathy and understanding grown shadowy since I have been away from it so long, still is more real to me than the world I am in now. Not only the spangles and the gay trappings made it colorful; there was an inner color that warmed the soul. And that I miss.
    Josephine Demott Robinson (1865–1948)

    Before I finally went into winter quarters in November, I used to resort to the north- east side of Walden, which the sun, reflected from the pitch pine woods and the stony shore, made the fireside of the pond; it is so much pleasanter and wholesomer to be warmed by the sun while you can be, than by an artificial fire. I thus warmed myself by the still glowing embers which the summer, like a departed hunter, had left.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
