Beats

Famous quotes containing the word beats:

“Mind in its purest play is like some bat
That beats about in caverns all alone,
Contriving by a kind of senseless wit
Not to conclude against a wall of stone.”

Myself must I remake
Till I am Timon and Lear
Or that William Blake
Who beats upon the wall
Till truth obeyed his call....”
