Wire Fences

Famous quotes containing the words wire and/or fences:

    Constantly risking absurdity
    and death
    whenever he performs
    above the heads
    of his audience
    the poet like an acrobat
    climbs on rime
    to a high wire of his own making.
    Lawrence Ferlinghetti (b. 1919)

    He who rides and keeps the beaten track studies the fences chiefly.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
