Colorful Woolen Balls

Famous quotes containing the words colorful, woolen and/or balls:

    Outside books, we avoid colorful characters.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Three forms I see on stretchers lying, brought out there untended
    lying,
    Over each the blanket spread, ample brownish woolen blanket,
    Gray and heavy blanket, folding, covering all.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    look the spangles
    that sleep all the year in a dark box
    dreaming of being taken out and allowed to shine,
    the balls the chains red and gold the fluffy threads,

    put up your little arms
    and i’ll give them all to you to hold
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)
