Steel Wire

Famous quotes containing the words steel and/or wire:

    Through joy and blindness he shall know,
    Not caring much to know, that still
    Nor lead nor steel shall reach him,
    Julian Grenfell (1888–1915)

    Constantly risking absurdity
    and death
    whenever he performs
    above the heads
    of his audience
    the poet like an acrobat
    climbs on rime
    to a high wire of his own making.
    Lawrence Ferlinghetti (b. 1919)
