Famous quotes containing the word web:

    Thou blind man’s mark, thou fool’s self-chosen snare,
    Fond Fancy’s scum and dregs of scattered thought,
    Band of all evils, cradle of causeless care,
    Thou web of will whose end is never wrought;
    Desire! desire, I have too dearly bought
    With price of mangled mind thy worthless ware;
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    These seem like bristles, and the hide is tough.
    No claw or web here: each foot ends in hoof.
    Thom Gunn (b. 1929)
