Free Strokes

Famous quotes containing the words free and/or strokes:

“It is mediocrity which makes laws and sets mantraps and spring-guns in the realm of free song, saying thus far shalt thou go and no further.”

“It was the bad ax-helve someone had sold me
“Made on machine,” he said, plowing the grain
With thick thumbnail to show how it ran
Across the handle’s long-drawn serpentine,
Like the two strokes across a dollar sign.”
