Famous quotes containing the words quick and/or pitch:

    A quick caress she gives the rose,
    Lilac, geranium all in season . . .
    Oh, if she might have seen a reason
    For powdering her nose!
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Though I have locked my gate on them
    I pity all the young,
    I know what devil’s trade they learn
    From those they live among,
    Their drink, their pitch and toss by day,
    Their robbery by night....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
