Famous quotes containing the words woman and/or heart:
“A woman drew her long black hair out tight
And fiddled whisper music on those strings
And bats with baby faces in the violet light
Whistled, and beat their wings
And crawled head downward down a blackened wall....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Can love be controlled by advice?
Will Cupid our mothers obey?
Though my heart were as frozen as ice,
At his flame ‘twould have melted away.
When he kissed me so closely he pressed,
‘Twas so sweet that I must have complied:
So I thought it both safest and best
To marry, for fear you should chide.”
—John Gay (1685–1732)
