Ravishing Beauties

Famous quotes containing the words ravishing and/or beauties:

    Withered murder,
    Alarumed by his sentinel, the wolf,
    Whose howl’s his watch, thus with his stealthy pace,
    With Tarquin’s ravishing strides, towards his design
    Moves like a ghost.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    You know how Utamaro’s beauties sought
    The end of love in their all-speaking braids.
    Alas! Have all the barbers lived in vain
    That not one curl in nature has survived?
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
