Dutch Famine

Famous quotes containing the words dutch and/or famine:

    Too nice is neighbor’s fool.
    —Common Dutch saying, trans by Johanna C. Prins.

    I knew the poor,
    I knew the hideous death they die,
    when famine lays its bleak hand on the door;
    I knew the rich,
    sated with merriment,
    who yet are sad.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
