Patch

Famous quotes containing the word patch:

And bearded bronze, but not a man,

Although I patch him as I can
And reach through him almost to man.”

Might stop a hole to keep the wind away.
O that that earth which kept the world in awe
Should patch a wall t’expel the winter’s flaw!”

he gazes on
with unblinking eyes,
I cover up
but I want him to see it all anyway.”
