Held

Famous quotes containing the word held:

Or buzzed impetuously as before;
One would have thought the corpse was held a slave
To living by the life it bore!”

As cautiously as Glass
And held my ears, and like a Thief
Fled gasping from the House—”

rolling her china-blue doll eyes open and shut
and sometimes referring to her mirror
as women do.”
