two (n.)
two (adj.)
I saw two clouds at morning
Tinged by the rising sun,
And in the dawn they floated on
And mingled into one.
This narrow isthmus 'twixt two boundless seas,
The past, the future,—two eternities!
Everything has two handles,—one by which it may be borne; another by which it cannot.
Two hands upon the breast,
And labour's done;
Two pale feet crossed in rest,
The race is won.
Two heads are better then one.
Two souls in one, two hearts into one heart.
Two souls with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one.
It is always good
When a man has two irons in the fire.
Two lovely berries moulded on one stem.
Methought I saw the footsteps of a throne.—
In ev'ry age and clime we see
Two of a trade can never agree.
I know a trick worth two of that.
Two hands upon the breast,
And labour's done;
Two pale feet crossed in rest,
The race is won.
Protagoras asserted that there were two sides to every question, exactly opposite to each other.
Like two single gentlemen rolled into one.
Two souls with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one.

As happy prologues to the swelling act
Of the imperial theme.

One of the mountains,—each a mighty voice.

All well defined, and several stinks.
But that two-handed engine at the door
Stands ready to smite once, and smite no more.

Nature hath framed strange fellows in her time.
Plato having defined man to be a two-legged animal without feathers, Diogenes plucked a cock and brought it into the Academy, and said, "This is Plato's man." On which account this addition was made to the definition,—"With broad flat nails."
And all to leave what with his toil he won
To that unfeather'd two-legged thing, a son.
