Famous quotes containing the word wears:
“Let still the woman take
An elder than herself. So wears she to him;
So sways she level in her husband’s heart.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The woman is perfected.
Her dead
Body wears the smile of accomplishment.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
“Of all the characters I have known, perhaps Walden wears best, and best preserves its purity. Many men have been likened to it, but few deserve that honor. Though the woodchoppers have laid bare first this shore and then that, and the Irish have built their sties by it, and the railroad has infringed on its border, and the ice-men have skimmed it once, it is itself unchanged, the same water which my youthful eyes fell on; all the change is in me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
