Held

Famous quotes containing the word held:

    I held a bayonet
    that was for the earth of your stomach.
    The belly button singing its puzzle.
    The intestines winding like the alpine roads.
    It was made to enter you
    as you have entered me....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The East Wind, an interloper in the dominions of Westerly Weather, is an impassive-faced tyrant with a sharp poniard held behind his back for a treacherous stab.
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    Lacustrine man had never been assailed
    By such long-rolling opulent cataracts,
    Unless Racine or Bossuet held the like.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
