Feathers Cut

Famous quotes containing the words feathers and/or cut:

“Were she to lose her love, because she had lost
Her confidence in mine, or even lose
Its first simplicity, love, voice and all,
All my fine feathers would be plucked away
And I left shivering.”

To see the present as it never had existed,
Clear and shapeless, in an atmosphere like cut glass.”
