hairlike QUOTES

1 " When yellow lights struggle with blue shades in hairlike lines. "

― Thomas Hardy , Tess of the D'Urbervilles

2 " Redhead

All over the house
Strands of copper hair
Like filaments from a cobweb
Collect.
If you and I
Were ever to part—

For months, perhaps years,
I’d be combing out,
Brushing or picking up
Strands of significance,

Traces of you
In my life "

― john j geddes

3 " Love’s time’s beggar, but even a single hour,
bright as a dropped coin, makes love rich.
We find an hour together, spend it not on flowers
or wine, but the whole of the summer sky and a grass ditch.

For thousands of seconds we kiss; your hair
like treasure on the ground; the Midas light
turning your limbs to gold. Time slows, for here
we are millionaires, backhanding the night

so nothing dark will end our shining hour,
no jewel hold a candle to the cuckoo spit
hung from the blade of grass at your ear,
no chandelier or spotlight see you better lit

than here. Now. Time hates love, wants love poor,
but love spins gold, gold, gold from straw. "

― Carol Ann Duffy , Rapture
