Reverse Wound

Famous quotes containing the words reverse and/or wound:

“We came home from the ridotto so late, or rather so early, that it was not possible for me to write. Indeed we did not go ... till past eleven o’clock: but nobody does. A terrible reverse of the order of nature! We sleep with the sun, and wake with the moon.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)

“For this ignorance of me
Seems a kind of innocence.
Fast enough I shall wound it....”
