Trace

Famous quotes containing the word trace:

    No trace of slavery ought to mix with the studies of the freeborn man.... No study, pursued under compulsion, remains rooted in the memory.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    Some wood-daemon
    has lightened your steps.
    I can find no trace of you
    in the larch-cones and the underbrush.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    ‘Tis chastity, my brother, chastity.
    She that has that is clad in complete steel,
    And like a quivered nymph with arrows keen
    May trace huge forests and unharbored heaths,
    Infamous hills and sandy perilous wilds,
    Where, through the sacred rays of chastity,
    No savage fierce, bandit, or mountaineer
    Will dare to soil her virgin purity.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
