Held

Famous quotes containing the word held:

    They darted down and rose up like a wave
    Or buzzed impetuously as before;
    One would have thought the corpse was held a slave
    To living by the life it bore!
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Since long I’ve held silence a remedy for harm.
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

    I held my breath
    and daddy was there,
    his thumbs, his fat skull,
    his teeth, his hair growing
    like a field or a shawl.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
