Famous quotes containing the word held:
“This conflict between the powers of love and chastity ... it ended apparently in the triumph of chastity. Love was suppressed, held in darkness and chains, by fear, conventionality, aversion, or a tremulous yearning to be pure.... But this triumph of chastity was only an apparent, a pyrrhic victory. It would break through the ban of chastity, it would emergeif in a form so altered as to be unrecognizable.”
—Thomas Mann (18751955)
“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 (19281974)
“you held me just as you must
and of course were not married, we are a pair of scissors
who come together to cut, without towels saying His. Hers.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
