Knitted Piece

Famous quotes containing the words knitted and/or piece:

    “At the last, tenderly,
    From the walls of the powerful fortress’d house,
    From the clasp of the knitted locks, from the keep of the well-closed doors,
    Let me be wafted.

    Let me glide noiselessly forth;
    With the key of softness unlock the locks—with a whisper,
    Set ope the doors O soul.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “Gloucester. O, let me kiss that hand!
    Lear. Let me wipe it first, it smells of mortality.
    Gloucester. O ruined piece of nature! This great world
    Shall so wear out to nought.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
