Balls Thrown

Famous quotes containing the words balls and/or thrown:

“look the spangles
that sleep all the year in a dark box
dreaming of being taken out and allowed to shine,
the balls the chains red and gold the fluffy threads,

put up your little arms
and i’ll give them all to you to hold”
—E.E. (Edward Estlin)

“Men are much oftener thrown on their knees by the melancholy than by the agreeable passions.”
