Starry Triggerfish - Length

Famous quotes containing the word length:

“those far-fet helps be such
As do bewray a want of inward touch,
and sure at length stolen goods do come to light.

You seek to nurse at fullest breasts of Fame,
Stella behold, and then begin to indite.”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
