Ransom Note

Famous quotes containing the words ransom and/or note:

    And the chieftain’s head, with grinning sockets, and varnished—
    Is it hung on the sky with a hideous epitaphy?
    No, the woman keeps the trophy.
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    A note as from a single place,
    A slender tinkling fall that made
    Now drops that floated on the pool
    Like pearls, and now a silver blade.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
