Heavy

Famous quotes containing the word heavy:

    The world, unfathomably fair,
    Is duller than a witling’s jest.
    Love wakes men, once a lifetime each;
    They lift their heavy lids, and look;
    And, lo, what one sweet page can teach,
    They read with joy, then shut the book.
    Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore (1823–1896)

    Two heavy trestles, and a board
    Where Sato’s gift, a changeless sword,
    By pen and paper lies,
    That it may moralise
    My days out of their aimlessness.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    With fingers weary and worn,
    With eyelids heavy and red,
    A woman sat, in unwomanly rags,
    Plying her needle and thread—
    Stitch! stitch! stitch!
    In poverty, hunger and dirt
    And still with a voice of dolorous pitch
    She sang the “Song of the Shirt.”
    Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
