Horn and Strings

Famous quotes containing the words horn and/or strings:

    “It’s certain that fine women eat
    A crazy salad with their meat
    Whereby the Horn of Plenty is undone.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “When my lover came to bed,
    the knot came untied
    all by itself.
    My dress,
    held up by the strings of a loosened belt,
    barely stayed on my hips.
    Friend,
    that’s as much as I know now.
    When he touched my body,
    I couldn’t at all remember
    who he was,
    who I was,
    or how It was.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
