Fourth Ball

Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or ball:

“All night I’ve held your hand,
as if you had
a fourth time faced the kingdom of the mad—
its hackneyed speech, its homicidal eye—
and dragged me home alive. . . .”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

“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.”
