Held

Famous quotes containing the word held:

    Lacustrine man had never been assailed
    By such long-rolling opulent cataracts,
    Unless Racine or Bossuet held the like.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    A city on whom plenty held full hand,
    For riches strewed herself even in her streets;
    Whose towers bore heads so high they kissed the clouds,
    And strangers ne’er beheld but wondered at.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I held my breath
    and daddy was there,
    his thumbs, his fat skull,
    his teeth, his hair growing
    like a field or a shawl.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
