Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or silk:

    “Where no great fish venture
    nor small fish glitter and dart,
    only the anemones and flower
    of the wild sea-thyme
    cover the silent walls
    of an old sea-city at rest.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “All-destroying sword-blade still
    Carried by the wandering fool.
    Gold-sewn silk on the sword-blade,
    Beauty and fool together laid.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
