Edith Wharton Quote

The ages are but baubles hung upon
The thread of some strong lives — and one slight wrist
May lift a century above the dust.


Artemis to Actaeon (1909)


The ages are but baubles hung upon The thread of some strong lives — and one slight wrist May lift a century above the dust.

The ages are but baubles hung upon The thread of some strong lives — and one slight wrist May lift a century above the dust.

The ages are but baubles hung upon The thread of some strong lives — and one slight wrist May lift a century above the dust.

The ages are but baubles hung upon The thread of some strong lives — and one slight wrist May lift a century above the dust.
