Spooling Quotes

There was nothing for it but to pace through just behind or ahead of the spooling present that was never there, caught in the nonexistent interval between the nonexistent past and the nonexistent future. (Kim Stanley Robinson)
When you are very old, at evening, by candelight, Sitting near the fire, spooling and spinning the wool, You will say, in wonder, as you sing my verses, "Ronsard praised me in the days when I was beautiful." View quote
Pierre de Ronsard
