Foot-fault No Ball

Famous quotes containing the word ball:

    “Blackberries
    Big as the ball of my thumb, and dumb as eyes
    Ebon in the hedges, fat
    With blue-red juices. These they squander on my fingers.
    I had not asked for such a blood sisterhood; they must love me.”
    —Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
