Famous quotes containing the words body and/or thief:
“With my whole body I taste these peaches,
I touch them and smell them. Who speaks?
I absorb them as the Angevine
Absorbs Anjou. I see them as a lover sees,
As a young lover sees the first buds of spring
And as the black Spaniard plays his guitar.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Time is a very bankrupt and owes more than he’s worth to
season.
Nay, he’s a thief too: have you not heard men say,
That Time comes stealing on by night and day?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
