Barbed Wire Board

Famous quotes containing the words wire and/or board:

    “Constantly risking absurdity
    and death
    whenever he performs
    above the heads
    of his audience
    the poet like an acrobat
    climbs on rime
    to a high wire of his own making.”
    —Lawrence Ferlinghetti (b. 1919)

    “She hears me strike the board and say
    That she is under ban
    Of all good men and women,
    Being mentioned with a man
    That has the worst of all bad names.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
