Spun/reception

Famous quotes containing the words spun and/or reception:

    This Frey seems thus to us:
    Hells Spider gets
    His intrails spun to whip Cords thus,
    And wove to nets,
    And sets.
    Edward Taylor (1645–1729)

    Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
