Steel Strings

Famous quotes containing the words steel and/or strings:

“Cold eyes ... steel grey, rather small, not unpleasant in good-humour, diabolic in a passion, but worst when a little suspicious; then they watch you as though you were a young rattle-snake, to be killed when convenient.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

“Death cut the strings that gave me life,
And handed me to Sorrow,
The only kind of middle wife
My folks could beg or borrow.”
—Countee Cullen (1903–1946)
