Ransom Note

Famous quotes containing the words ransom and/or note:

    This morning, there flew up the lane
    A timid lady-bird to our bird-bath
    And eyed her image dolefully as death;
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    There was a saviour
    Rarer than radium,
    Commoner than water, crueller than truth;
    Children kept from the sun
    Assembled at his tongue
    To hear the golden note turn in a groove....
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
