Famous quotes containing the words breath and/or hold:
“It is true that the rivers went nosing like swine,
Tugging at banks, until they seemed
Bland belly-sounds in somnolent troughs,
That the air was heavy with the breath of these swine,
The breath of turgid summer, and
Heavy with thunder’s rattapallax....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“History
Coming too close
Is monstrous, like a doll
That is alive and bigger than the child
Who tries to hold it.”
—Babette Deutsch (1895–1982)
