Famous quotes containing the words silver, needle and/or fashion:
“When I from black and he from white cloud free,
And round the tent of Godlike lambs we joy,
Ill shade him from the heat till he can bear
To lean in joy upon our fathers knee;
And then Ill stand and stroke his silver hair,
And be like him, and he will then love me.”
—William Blake (17571827)
“I am obnoxious to each carping tongue
Who says my hand a needle better fits,
A poets pen, all scorn, I should thus wrong;
For such despite they cast on female wits:
If what I do prove well, it wont advance,
Theyll say its stolen, or else it was by chance.”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 16121672)
“The winter is to a woman of fashion what, of yore, a campaign was to the soldiers of the Empire.”
—HonorĂ© De Balzac (17991850)
