Dead Ball Foul

Famous quotes containing the words dead, ball and/or foul:

    “He said the dead had souls, but when I asked him
    How could that be—I thought the dead were souls,
    He broke my trance. Don’t that make you suspicious
    That there’s something the dead are keeping back?”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Blackberries
    Big as the ball of my thumb, and dumb as eyes
    Ebon in the hedges, fat
    With blue-red juices. These they squander on my fingers.
    I had not asked for such a blood sisterhood; they must love me.”
    —Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    “Think of the moment you count
    most foul in your life;
    conjure it,
    supplicate,
    pray to it;
    your face is bleak, you retract,
    you dare not remember it.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
