Fine

Famous quotes containing the word fine:

“I feel like a white granular mass of amorphous crystals—my formula appears to be isomeric with Spasmotoxin. My aurochloride precipitates into beautiful prismatic needles. My Platinochloride develops octohedron crystals,—with a fine blue florescence. My physiological action is not indifferent. One millionth of a grain injected under the skin of a frog produced instantaneous death accompanied by an orange blossom odor.”
—Lafcadio Hearn (1850–1904)

“her fine blades making the air wince
but her cargo
no promise then:
delivered
palpable
ours.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

“The grave’s a fine and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
