Famous quotes containing the words race and/or held:
“Before we shall again behold
In his diurnal race the worlds great eye,
We may as silent be and cold
As are the shades where buried lovers lie.”
—Sir William Davenant (16061668)
“He held the world upon his nose
And this-a-way he gave a fling.
His robes and symbols, ai-hi-hi
And that-a-way he twirled the thing.
Sombre as fir-trees, liquid cats
Moved in the grass without a sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
