It was a part of himself, woven unchangeably into his life in a glowing skein, the brilliant colors of which could never fade.

Nevertheless, if the skein of ideas was entangled, each thread in itself was a thread of gold.

But the Seine was but a skein of silk stretched across the city; the water was hidden by the craft.

Sometimes I dye one end of a skein, and leave the other untouched; that gives quite a good effect.
