Famous quotes containing the word limbs:

    “But all its chief delight was still
    On Roses thus its self to fill:
    And its pure virgin Limbs to fold
    In whitest sheets of Lillies cold.
    Had it liv’d long it would have been
    Lillies without, Roses within.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;
    But then begins a journey in my head
    To work my mind, when body’s work’s expired:”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Trembles not exquisite like limbs knife-skewed,”
