Famous quotes containing the words width and/or fabric:
“Newly stumbling to and fro
All they find, outside the fold,
Is a wretched width of cold.”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
“Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air.
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself
Yea, all which it inheritshall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
