Pitched Stone Court

Famous quotes containing the words pitched, stone and/or court:

    Love, why have you sought the horde
    of spearsmen, why the tent
    Achilles pitched beside the river-ford?
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    This is the dead land
    This is cactus land
    Here the stone images
    Are raised, here they receive
    The supplication of a dead man’s hand
    Under the twinkle of a fading star.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    We went on, feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the soldier, binding up his wounds, harboring the stranger, visiting the sick, ministering to the prisoner, and burying the dead, until that blessed day at Appomattox Court House relieved the strain.
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
