Silk Mass

Famous quotes containing the words silk and/or mass:

    Her fortune, too, lies there,
    Converted into cool hard steel
    And right red velvet lining;
    While over her tan impassivity
    Shot silk is shining.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    There is a small steam engine in his brain which not only sets the cerebral mass in motion, but keeps the owner in hot water.
