Quotations for dissolves

The March sun raises, but dissolves not. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

Swift, speedy Time, feathered with flying hours,
Dissolves the beauty of the fairest brow. [ Samuel Daniel ]

There is a charm, a power, that sways the breast,
Bids every passion revel or be still,
Inspires with anger, or all your cares dissolves;
Can soothe distraction and most despair,
That power is music. [ Armstrong ]

It is the fate of a woman
Long to be patient and silent, to wait like a ghost that is speechless,
Till some questioning voice dissolves the spell of its silence. [ Longfellow ]
