High Wire

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or wire:

“I hate that which we have decided to call realism, even though I have been made one of its high priests.”

I know not what fine wire is round my throat;
I only know I let him finger there
My pulse of life, and let him nose like a stoat
Who sniffs with joy before he drinks the blood.”
