Famous quotes containing the words breath and/or hold:
“Not a breath of wild air;
Still as the mosses that glow
On the flooring and over the lines”
—George Meredith (1828–1909)
“He turns agen and drives the noisy crowd
And beats the dogs in noises loud.
He drives away and beats them every one,
And then they loose them all and set them on.
He falls as dead and kicked by boys and men,
Then starts and grins and drives the crowd agen;
Till kicked and torn and beaten out he lies
And leaves his hold and cackles, groans, and dies.”
—John Clare (1793–1864)
