Escaped Prison Fourteen

Famous quotes containing the words escaped, prison and/or fourteen:

    an escaped note of
    almost unbearable
    satisfaction, a great
    bough or beam
    unaware it had
    spoken.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    You ain’t got much, Stroud, but you keep subtracting from it.
    Guy Trosper, U.S. screenwriter, and John Frankenheimer. Kramer, a prison guard (Crahan Denton)

    For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
    For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
    For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
    For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
    For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
    For the next a bier to fetch them away.
    Thomas Tusser (c. 1520–1580)
