Rigid Structure

Famous quotes containing the words rigid and/or structure:

    They work, and age, and put off men
    By being unattractive, or too shy,
    Or having morals anyhow, none give in:
    Some of them go quite rigid with disgust
    At anything but marriage....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Who says that fictions only and false hair
    Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty?
    Is all good structure in a winding stair?
    May no lines pass, except they do their duty
    Not to a true, but painted chair?
    George Herbert (1593–1633)
