Wide Web

Famous quotes containing the words wide and/or web:

    There was no corn—in the wide market-place
    All loathliest things, even human flesh, was sold;
    They weighed it in small scales—and many a face
    Was fixt in eager horror then; his gold
    The miser brought; the tender maid, grown bold
    Through hunger, bared her scornèd charms in vain.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    Any newspaper, from the first line to the last, is nothing but a web of horrors.... I cannot understand how an innocent hand can touch a newspaper without convulsing in disgust.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
