Spun/reception

Famous quotes containing the words spun and/or reception:

    Burning in the bride bed of love, in the whirl-
    Pool at the wanting centre, in the folds
    Of paradise, in the spun bud of the world.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.”
    Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
