Floating Bridges

Famous quotes containing the words floating and/or bridges:

“The man who, from the beginning of his life, has been bathed at length in the soft atmosphere of a woman, in the smell of her hands, of her bosom, of her knees, of her hair, of her supple and floating clothes, ... has contracted from this contact a tender skin and a distinct accent, a kind of androgyny without which the harshest and most masculine genius remains, as far as perfection in art is concerned, an incomplete being.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

“to-morrow it seem
Like the empty words of a dream
Remembered on waking.”
—Robert Bridges (1844–1930)
