Final Held

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or held:

    “Always and last, before the final ring
    When all the fireworks blare, begins
    A tom-tom scrimmage with a somewhere violin,
    Some cheapest echo of them all—begins.”
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    “The earth is not earth but a stone,
    Not the mother that held men as they fell
    But stone, but like a stone, no: not
    The mother, but an oppressor, but like
    An oppressor that grudges them their death,
    As it grudges the living that they live.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
