Seventh Inning Stretch

Famous quotes containing the words seventh and/or stretch:

    “With its frame of shaking curls all in disarray,
    earrings swinging,
    make-up smudged by beads of sweat,
    eyes languid at the end of lovemaking,
    may the face of the slim girl
    who’s riding on top of you
    protect you long.

    of Vi.s».n»u, iva, Skanda,
    and all those other gods?”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    “When Sheba was his lass,
    When she the iron wrought, or
    When from the smithy fire
    It shuddered in the water:
    Harshness of their desire
    That made them stretch and yawn....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
