Famous quotes containing the words structure and/or governance:

    “Who says that fictions only and false hair
    Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty?
    Is all good structure in a winding stair?
    May no lines pass, except they do their duty
    Not to a true, but painted chair?”
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    “He yaf me al the bridel in myn hand,
    To han the governance of hous and land,
    And of his tonge and his hand also;”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
