Seventh Inning Stretch

Famous quotes containing the words seventh and/or stretch:

    “Hard-hearted girl,
    get rid of these doubts
    based on false rumor.
    It’s not good
    to subject me to sorrow
    because of backbiters’ words,
    or have you decided now,
    silly girl,
    that it’s all true?
    Do to me what you will,
    sweetheart.
    Suit yourself.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    “These Flemish pictures of old days;
    Sit with me by the homestead hearth,
    And stretch the hands of memory forth
    To warm them at the wood-fire’s blaze!”
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
