Pitched Balls

Famous quotes containing the words pitched and/or balls:

“Love, why have you sought the horde
of spearsmen, why the tent
Achilles pitched beside the river-ford?”

“I count those feathered balls of soot
The moor-hen guides upon the stream,
To silence the envy in my thought;
And turn towards my chamber, caught
In the cold snows of a dream.”
