Ball Striking

Famous quotes containing the words ball and/or striking:

“It may be possible to do without dancing entirely. Instances have been known of young people passing many, many months successively, without being at any ball of any description, and no material injury accrue either to body or mind; Mbut when a beginning is made—when felicities of rapid motion have once been, though slightly, felt—it must be a very heavy set that does not ask for more.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)

“Christ is my onely head,
My alone onely heart and breast,
My onely musick, striking me ev’n dead;”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
