Famous quotes containing the word threads:
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
“‘Tis sweet to feel by what fine-spun threads our affections are drawn together.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“Always the silence, the gesture, the specks of birds
suspended on invisible threads above the Site,”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
