Famous quotes containing the word bends:

    “A wet sheet and a flowing sea,
    A wind that follows fast
    And fills the white and rustling sail
    And bends the gallant mast;”
    —Allan Cunningham (1784–1842)

    “Let me not to the marriage of true minds
    Admit impediments. Love is not love
    Which alters when it alteration finds,
    Or bends with the remover to remove.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Silent is the house: all are laid asleep:
    One alone looks out o’er the snow-wreaths deep,
    Watching every cloud, dreading every breeze
    That whirls the ‘wildering drift, and bends the groaning trees.”
    —Emily Brontë (1818–1848)
