Famous quotes containing the words hot wire, hot and/or wire:

    Because the pleasure-bird whistles after the hot wires,
    Shall the blind horse sing sweeter?

    Away went the messenger’s bicycle,
    His serpent’s track went up the hill forever.
    And all the time she stood there hot as fever
    And cold as any icicle.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    God, I am caught in a snare!
    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.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
