“It is rather an unpleasant fact, that the ugliest and awkwardest of brute animals have the greatest resemblance to man: the monkey and the bear. The monkey is ugly too (so we think) because he is like man--as the bear is awkward, because the cumbrous action of its huge paws seems to be a preposterous imitation of the motions of human hands. Men and apes are the only animals that have hairs on the under eye-lid. Let kings know this.” ThinkingKnowsMenHumansFactsHandsSeemsEyeActionAnimalHugeHairBearsKingsUglyAwkwardImitationMonkeysBrutesApesResemblancePawsHuman Hands Book:Delphi Complete Works of Charles and Mary Lamb (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Charles and Mary Lamb (Illustrated)

“I wanted something different. I'd been using the C+ amps for a long time, and I love them - they're one of my favorite amps ever.

“Kent. Where's the king? Gent. Contending with the fretful elements; Bids the wind blow the earth into the sea, Or swell the curled waters 'bove the main, That things might change or cease; tears his white hair, Which the impetuous blasts, with eyeless rage, Catch in their fury and make nothing of; Strives in his little world of man to outscorn The to-and-fro-conflicting wind and rain. This night, wherein the cub-drawn bear would couch, The lion and the belly-pinched wolf Keep their fur dry, unbonneted he runs, And bids what will take all.” MenWorldLittlesMightRunningEarthNightWaterWhiteSeaTearsWindHairBearsKingsElementsRainStriveBlowRageCeaseDryLionsStrifeBellyFuryCouchesBlastFurCubsKentContendingWhite HairWind And RainImpetuousGents Book:The plays of William Shakespeare Source: The plays of William Shakespeare
“The eyes were hollow and the carven head was broken, but about the high, stern forehead there was a coronal of silver and gold. A trailing plant with flowers like white stars had bound itself across the brows as if in reverence for the fallen king, and in the crevices of his stony hair yellow stonecrop gleamed.

“I am a king's daughter, And if I cared to care, The moon that has no mistress Would flutter in my hair. No one dares to cherish What I choose to crave.

And I would run away And beg from door to door, Just to see your shadow Once, and never more.” IfsPersonsCareRunningGrowsDoorsHairKingsMoonDaughterShadowSkinsPrisonDareCherishRunning AwayCraveMistressShackles Author:Peter S.
