Famous quotes containing the words thread and/or counts:
“Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragonfly
Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky—
So this winged hour is dropped to us from above.
Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower,
This close-companioned inarticulate hour
When twofold silence was the song of love.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
“The man who knows it can’t be done counts the risk, not the reward.”
—Elbert Hubbard (1856–1915)
