Laid Wires

Famous quotes containing the words laid and/or wires:

    Not Solomon, for all his wit,
    Nor Samson, though he were so strong,
    No king nor person ever yet
    Could ‘scape, but death laid him along:
    Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)

    The symmetrical piles of white bodies,
    the round white breast-shapes of the heaps,
    the smell of the smoke, the dogs the wires the
    rope the hunger. It had happened to others.
    There was a word for us. I was: a Jew.
    Sharon Olds (b. 1942)
