Cup Match

Famous quotes containing the words cup and/or match:

“In poorer lands
No one touches the water of life.
It has no taste
And though it refreshes absolutely
It is a cup that must also pass
Until everybody
Gets some advantage....”

“When they turn the sun
on again I’ll plant children
under it, I’ll light up my soul
with a match and let it sing....”
