Held

Famous quotes containing the word held:

“He held the world upon his nose
And this-a-way he gave a fling.
His robes and symbols, ai-hi-hi
And that-a-way he twirled the thing.
Sombre as fir-trees, liquid cats
Moved in the grass without a sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“A city on whom plenty held full hand,
For riches strewed herself even in her streets;
Whose towers bore heads so high they kissed the clouds,
And strangers ne’er beheld but wondered at.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Then moved my Fingers off
As cautiously as Glass
And held my ears, and like a Thief
Fled gasping from the House—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
