Famous quotes containing the words power and/or losses:
“it is a power of
strong enchantment. It
is like the dove-
neck animated by
sun; it is memorys eye;
its conscientious inconsistency.”
—Marianne Moore (18871972)
“Hold back thy hours, dark Night, till we have done;
The Day will come too soon.
Young maids will curse thee, if thou stealst away
And leavst their losses open to the day.
Stay, stay, and hide
The blushes of the bride.”
—Francis Beaumont (1584-1616)
