Limbs

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)

Trembles not exquisite like limbs knife-skewed,”

In which a Soul doth dwell:”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
