Famous quotes containing the word needle:
“I am obnoxious to each carping tongue
Who says my hand a needle better fits,
A poets pen, all scorn, I should thus wrong;
For such despite they cast on female wits:
If what I do prove well, it wont advance,
Theyll say its stolen, or else it was by chance.”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 16121672)
“And so the needle pricked her fingers;
She fidgeted but didnt go;
A faint forgetfulness of reasons
Kept her with him. Time is slow.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
“Think how stood the white pine tree on the shore of the Chesuncook, its branches soughing with the four winds, and every individual needle trembling in the sunlight,think how it stands with it now,sold, perchance, to the New England Friction-Match Company!”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
