Base Stealing

Famous quotes containing the words base and/or stealing:

“Your top has sunk too low,
Your base has spread too wide,
For you to roll one stone
Down if you tried.”

“While he hears in every spring
How the birds do chirp and sing:
Or before the hounds in cry
See the hare go stealing by:
Or along the shallow brook,
Angling with a baited hook,
See the fishes leap and play
In a blessed sunny day:”
—Nicholas Breton (1542–1626)
