Famous quotes containing the words pitch and/or line:
“I dream that I have brought
To such a pitch my thought
That coming time can say,
He shadowed in a glass
What thing her body was.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“If youre anxious for to shine in the high esthetic line as a man
of culture rare,
You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms, and plant
them everywhere.
You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases of your
complicated state of mind,
The meaning doesnt matter if its only idle chatter of a
transcendental kind.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (18361911)
