Spider Dragline Silk

Famous quotes containing the words spider and/or silk:

    “Will you walk into my parlor?” said the spider to the fly;

    The way into my parlor is up a winding stair,
    And I have many pretty things to show when you are there.”

    All-destroying sword-blade still
    Carried by the wandering fool.
    Gold-sewn silk on the sword-blade,
    Beauty and fool together laid.
