Cunning Craft

Famous quotes containing the words cunning and/or craft:

“But chief to heedless flies the window proves
A constant death; where gloomily retired,
The villain spider lives, cunning and fierce,
Mixture abhorred! Amid a mangled heap
Of carcases in eager watch he sits,
O’erlooking all his waving snares around.”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)

“To clothe the fiery thought
In simple words succeeds,
For still the craft of genius is
To mask a king in weeds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
