Blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
To blow and swallow at the same moment is not easy.
As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
One swallow maketh not summer.
O Proserpina,
For the flowers now, that frighted thou let'st fall
From Dis's waggon! daffodils,
That come before the swallow dares, and take
The winds of March with beauty; violets dim,
But sweeter than the lids of Juno's eyes
Or Cytherea's breath; pale primroses,
That die unmarried, ere they can behold
Bright Phoebus in his strength,—a malady
Most incident to maids; bold oxlips and
The crown imperial; lilies of all kinds,
The flower-de-luce being one.
Short swallow-flights of song, that dip
Their wings in tears, and skim away.
