Fine

Famous quotes containing the word fine:

“What art can paint or gild any object in afterlife with the glow which Nature gives to the first baubles of childhood. St. Peter’s cannot have the magical power over us that the red and gold covers of our first picture-book possessed. How the imagination cleaves to the warm glories of that tinsel even now! What entertainments make every day bright and short for the fine freshman!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“After mist has wrapped us again
in fine wool, may the taste of salt
recall to us the great depths about us.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“Yet when the houre of thy designe
To answer these fine things shall come,
Speak not at large, say, I am thine;
And then they have their answer home.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
