Melting Points

Famous quotes containing the words melting and/or points:

    Since to the awe of thy imperious wit
    Our troublesome language bends, made only fit
    With her tough thick-ribbed hoops to gird about
    Thy giant fancy, which had proved too stout
    For their soft melting phrases.
    Thomas Carew (1589–1639)

    Every man has to learn the points of the compass again as often as he awakes, whether from sleep or any abstraction.
