Famous quotes containing the words airy and/or function:
“Dull sublunary lovers love,
Whose soul is sense, cannot admit
Absence, because it doth remove
Those things which elemented it.
But we by a love so much refined
That our selves know not what it is,
Interassured of the mind,
Careless eyes, lips, and hands to miss.
Our two souls therefore, which are one,
Though I must go, endure not yet
A breach, but an expansion,
Like gold to airy thinness beat.”
—John Donne (15721631)
“It is the function of vice to keep virtue within reasonable bounds.”
—Samuel Butler (18351902)
