Famous quotes containing the words describing and/or speech:

“What of the heart without her? Nay, poor heart,
Of thee what word remains ere speech be still?

Steep ways and weary, without her thou art,
Where the long cloud, the long wood’s counterpart,
Sheds doubled darkness up the labouring hill.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
