toss in the sponge → τα παρατάω, καταθέτω τα όπλα, εγκαταλείπω, την κάνω, φεύγω
throw in the towel and throw in the sponge; toss in the sponge
Fig. (From boxing, where this is done by a boxer's trainer to stop the fight.) to signal that one is going to quit; to quit. When John could stand no more of Mary's bad temper, he threw in the towel and left. Don't give up now! It's too soon to throw in the sponge.

σηκώνω τα χέρια ψηλά, αποχωρώ, τα βροντάω, την κάνω μ' ελαφρά, δίνω τέλος, δίνω οριστικό τέλος
The stars, escaping,
Evaporate in acrid mists
[...]Night blows through me.
I am clear with its bitterness.
I tinkle along brick canyons
Like a crystal leaf
