Famous quotes containing the words tie and/or rod:

    The perception of the comic is a tie of sympathy with other men, a pledge of sanity, and a protection from those perverse tendencies and gloomy insanities in which fine intellects sometimes lose themselves. A rogue alive to the ludicrous is still convertible. If that sense is lost, his fellow-men can do little for him.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    From pleasure of the bed,
    Dull as a worm,
    His rod and its butting head
    Limp as a worm ...
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
