Famous quotes containing the word web:

    The delicate, invisible web you wove
    The inexplicable mystery of sound.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Ye whose clay-cold heads and luke-warm hearts can argue down or mask your passions—tell me, what trespass is it that man should have them?... If nature has so wove her web of kindness, that some threads of love and desire are entangled with the piece—must the whole web be rent in drawing them out?
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
