Hangs from thy laden stem. [ Horace H. Scudder ]

The soul of music shed.
Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls,
As if that soul were fled. [ Moore ]

And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot;
And thereby hangs a tale. [ William Shakespeare ]

Over the greatest beauty hangs the greatest ruin. [ Proverb ]

No radiant pearl which crested fortune wears,
No gem that, twinkling, hangs from beauty's ears,
Not the bright stars which night's blue arch adorn,
Nor rising suns that gild the vernal morn.
Shine with such lustre as the tear that breaks
For other's woe, down virtue's manly cheeks. [ Darwin ]

God hangs the greatest weights on the smallest wires. [ Bacon ]

As in some Irish houses, where things are so-so,
One gammon of bacon hangs up for a show; -

They'd as soon think of eating the pan it is fried in. [ Goldsmith ]

A man's name is not like a mantle, which merely hangs about him, and which one perchance may safely twitch and pull, but a perfectly fitting garment, which like the skin has grown over and over him, at which one cannot rake and scrape without injuring the man himself. [ Goethe ]

Men that look no further than their outsides, think health an appurtenance unto life, and quarrel with their constitutions for being sick; but I that have examined the parts of man, and know upon what tender filaments that fabric hangs, do wonder that we are not always so; and considering the thousand doors that lead to death, do thank my God that we can die but once. [ Sir Thomas Browns ]
