flesh (v.)
flesh (adj.)
Bone and Skin, two millers thin,
Would starve us all, or near it;
But be it known to Skin and Bone
That Flesh and Blood can't bear it.
Dreams, books, are each a world; and books, we know,
Are a substantial world, both pure and good.
Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood,
Our pastime and our happiness will grow.
I am thy father's spirit,
Doom'd for a certain term to walk the night,
And for the day confin'd to fast in fires,
Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature
Are burnt and purg'd away. But that I am forbid
To tell the secrets of my prison-house,
I could a tale unfold, whose lightest word
Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood,
Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres,
Thy knotted and combined locks to part
And each particular hair to stand an end,
Like quills upon the fretful porpentine:
But this eternal blazon must not be
To ears of flesh and blood. List, list, O, list!
The world, the flesh, and the devil.
It is a deere collop
That is cut out of th' owne flesh.
Lay her i' the earth:
And from her fair and unpolluted flesh
May violets spring!
I saw him now going the way of all flesh.
Impatient straight to flesh his virgin sword.
O flesh, flesh, how art thou fishified!
All flesh is grass.
The devil hath power
To assume a pleasing shape.
The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
This Being of mine, whatever it really is, consists of a little flesh, a little breath, and the part which governs.
She is nether fish nor flesh, nor good red herring.
Bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh.
Flesh of thy flesh, nor yet bone of thy bone.
Two meanings have our lightest fantasies,—
One of the flesh, and of the spirit one.
Death,—a stopping of impressions through the senses, and of the pulling of the cords of motion, and of the ways of thought, and of service to the flesh.
"Heat, ma'am!" I said; "it was so dreadful here, that I found there was nothing left for it but to take off my flesh and sit in my bones."
O, that this too too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!
Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd
His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! God!
How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable
Seem to me all the uses of this world!
A thorn in the flesh.
Of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
It will not out of the flesh that is bred in the bone.
The blood will follow where the knife is driven,
The flesh will quiver where the pincers tear.
