Softer

Famous quotes containing the word softer:

    broken by your feet;
    your horse’s hooves
    tread softer than a deer’s.

    Where are the flowers, the fair young flowers, that lately sprang
    and stood
    In brighter light and softer airs, a beauteous sisterhood?
    Alas! they all are in their graves;
