Mixtures

Famous quotes containing the word mixtures:

“And yet these Rarities might be allow’d,
To Man, that sov’raign thing and proud;
Had he not dealt between the Bark and Tree,
Forbidden mixtures there to see.
No Plant now knew the Stock from which it came;
He grafts upon the Wild the Tame:”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

“If thought makes free, so does the moral sentiment. The mixtures of spiritual chemistry refuse to be analyzed.”
