Fifty Moves

Famous quotes containing the words fifty and/or moves:

    Let it not your wonder move,
    Less your laughter, that I love.
    Though I now write fifty years,
    I have had, and have, my peers;
    Poets, though divine, are men:
    Some have loved as old again.
    And it is not always face,
    Clothes, or fortune gives the grace,
    Or the feature, or the youth;
    But the language, and the truth,
    With the ardour and the passion,
    Gives the lover weight and fashion.
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    If anyone should want to know my name, I am called Leah. And I spend all my time weaving garlands of flowers with my fair hands, to please me when I stand before the mirror; my sister Rachel sits all the day long before her own, and never moves away. She loves to contemplate her lovely eyes; I love to use my hands to adorn myself: her joy is in reflection, mine in act.
    Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)
