Famous quotes containing the words ball and/or throw:
“But the ball is lost and the mallet slipped long since from the hands
Under the running tap that are not the hands of a child.”

“For poetry, he’s past his prime,
He takes an hour to find a rhyme;
His fire is out, his wit decayed,
His fancy sunk, his muse a jade.
I’d have him throw away his pen,
But there’s no talking to some men.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
