Card Tied

Famous quotes containing the words card and/or tied:

    In the game of “Whist for two,” usually called “Correspondence,” the lady plays what card she likes: the gentleman simply follows suit. If she leads with “Queen of Diamonds,” however, he may, if he likes, offer the “Ace of Hearts”: and, if she plays “Queen of Hearts,” and he happens to have no Heart left, he usually plays “Knave of Clubs.”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    I tied down time with a rope
    but it came back.
    Then
    I put my head in a death bowl
    and my eyes shut up like clams.
    They didn’t come back.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
