Wire Wound

Famous quotes containing the words wire and/or wound:

    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)

    No far-fetched sigh shall ever wound my breast,
    Love from mine eye a tear shall never wring,
    Nor in Ah me’s my whining sonnets dressed,
    A libertine, fantastically I sing.
    My verse is the true image of my mind,
    Ever in motion, still desiring change;
    Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
