Famous quotes containing the words bond and/or length:
“When the bond of love broke,
the respect born of affection withered,
good feelings fled,
and that man walked before me
like any other,
Good Friend,
I imagine all this,
think on days gone by
and wonder why
my heart hasn’t cracked
into a hundred bits.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“At length I met a reverend good old man,”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
