Famous quotes containing the word needle:
“I would build my house of crystal,
With a solitary friend,
Where the cold cracks like a pistol
And the needle stands on end.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“I am obnoxious to each carping tongue
Who says my hand a needle better fits,
A poets pen, all scorn, I should thus wrong;
For such despite they cast on female wits:
If what I do prove well, it wont advance,
Theyll say its stolen, or else it was by chance.”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 16121672)
“And so the needle pricked her fingers;
She fidgeted but didnt go;
A faint forgetfulness of reasons
Kept her with him. Time is slow.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
