Straw Bales

Famous quotes containing the words straw and/or bales:

    The coward wants resolution, which the brave man can do without. He recognizes no faith above a creed, thinking this straw by which he is moored does him good service, because his sheet anchor does not drag.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    No matter what disaster occurred
    She stood in desperate music wound
    Wound, wound, and she made in her triumph
    Where the bales and the baskets lay
    No common intelligible sound
    But sang, “O sea-starved hungry sea.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
