Held

Famous quotes containing the word held:

    To regard one’s immortality as an exchange of matter is as strange as predicting the future of a violin case once the expensive violin it held has broken and lost its worth.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    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)

    you held me just as you must
    and of course we’re not married, we are a pair of scissors
    who come together to cut, without towels saying His. Hers.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
