Weave, weave, weave, you streaks of rain!
I am dissolved and woven again...
Thousands of faces rise and vanish before me.
Thousands of voices weave in the rain.

Weave the warp, and weave the woof,
The winding sheet of Edward's race.
Give ample room and verge enough,
The Characters of hell to trace.

 
Thomas Gray
 

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to weave.

 
Mignon McLaughlin
 

In some sense, every magician is a weaver, merely one who works with invisible strands of the hidden light. With it we weave our various forms, just as a weaver produces cloth, and then stitch them into the images we desire, just as a tailor sews cloth into a tunic or robe. If we be journeymen in our craft, forces will come to inhabit our forms, just as a person will come to buy the tunic and place it over his body. But if we have plumbed the secret recesses of our art, if we are masters of our craft, then we can both weave the forms and place our own bodies within them.

 
Katharine Kerr
 

You could weave silk from pig bristles before you could make a man anything but a man.

 
Robert Jordan
 

O, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!

 
Walter Scott
