Where the bee sucks honey the spider sucks poison. [ Proverb ]

So the false spider, when her nets are spread, deep ambushed in her silent den does lie. [ Dryden ]

The spider lost her distaff, and is ever since forced to draw her thread through her tail. [ Proverb ]

Experience unveils too late the snares laid for youth; it is the white frost which discovers the spider's web when the flies are no longer there to be caught. [ J. Petit-Senn ]

Our souls sit close and silently within. And their own web from their own entrails spin; And when eyes meet far off, our sense is such, That, spider-like, we feel the tenderest touch. [ Dryden ]
