Hold

Famous quotes containing the word hold:

    Eyes I shall not see unless
    At the door of death’s other kingdom
    Where, as in this,
    The eyes outlast a little while
    A little while outlast the tears
    And hold us in derision.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    For I had expected always
    Some brightness to hold in trust,
    Some final innocence
    To save from dust;
    Stephen Spender (1909–1995)

    Now I hold Creation in my foot

    Or fly up, and revolve it all slowly—
    I kill where I please because it is all mine.
    There is no sophistry in my body:
    My manners are tearing off heads—

    The allotment of death.
    Ted Hughes (b. 1930)
