Bow Tie Wearers

Famous quotes containing the words bow and/or tie:

“A stranger came one night to Yussouf’s tent,
Saying, “Behold one outcast and in dread,
Against whose life the bow of power is bent,
Who flies, and hath not where to lay his head;
I come to thee for shelter and for food,
To Yussouf, called through all our tribes ‘he Good.’ “

“This tent is mine,” said Yussouf, “but no more
Than it is God’s; come in, and be at peace;”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

“No one can tear your thread out of himself.
No one can tie you down or set you free.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
