High Wire

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or wire:

    But look, the morn in russet mantle clad
    Walks o’er the dew of yon high eastward hill.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Constantly risking absurdity
    and death
    whenever he performs
    above the heads
    of his audience
    the poet like an acrobat
    climbs on rime
    to a high wire of his own making.
    Lawrence Ferlinghetti (b. 1919)
