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?”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“look the spangles
that sleep all the year in a dark box
dreaming of being taken out and allowed to shine,
the balls the chains red and gold the fluffy threads,

put up your little arms
and i’ll give them all to you to hold”
—E.E. (Edward Estlin)
