Veiled Lady

Famous quotes containing the words veiled and/or lady:

“she drew back a while,
Then, yielding to the irresistible joy,
With frantic gesture and short breathless cry
Folded his frame in her dissolving arms.
Now blackness veiled his dizzy eyes, and night
Involved and swallowed up the vision; sleep,
Like a dark flood suspended in its course,
Rolled back its impulse on his vacant brain.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

“Be plain in dress, and sober in your diet;
In short, my deary, kiss me and be quiet.”
—Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)
