Wire Pulled

Famous quotes containing the words wire and/or pulled:

    “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)

    “For near her stood the little boy
    Her childish favour singled:
    His cap pulled low upon a face
    Where pride and shame were mingled.”
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
