Free Throws

Famous quotes containing the words free and/or throws:

“Shall the Spring dawn, and she still clad in smiles,
And with an unscathed brow,
Rest in the strong arms of her palm-crowned isles,
As fair and free as now?

We know not; in the temple of the Fates
God has inscribed her doom;
And, all untroubled in her faith, she waits
The triumph or the tomb.”
—Henry Timrod (1828–1867)

“He throws off
artifacts as he
contracts and expands the
muscle of his being,
ringed in himself,
tilling.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
