Famous quotes containing the words hold and/or horses:

    Though in the trade of war I have slain men,
    Yet do I hold it very stuff o’ the conscience
    To do no contrived murder. I lack iniquity
    Sometimes to do me service.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I see the horses and the sad streets
    Of my childhood in an agate eye
    Roving, under the clean sheets,
    Over a black hole in the sky.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
