Breath Hold

Famous quotes containing the words breath and/or hold:

    It is true that the rivers went nosing like swine,
    Tugging at banks, until they seemed
    Bland belly-sounds in somnolent troughs,
    That the air was heavy with the breath of these swine,
    The breath of turgid summer, and
    Heavy with thunder’s rattapallax....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    I hold that the parentheses are by far the most important parts of a non-business letter.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
