Hood

Famous quotes containing the word hood:

    “It is not linen you’re wearing out
    But human creatures’ lives!
    Stitch—stitch—stitch,
    In poverty, hunger, and dirt,
    Sewing at once, with a double thread,
    A Shroud as well as a Shirt.”
    —Thomas Hood (1799–1845)

    “Work—work—work,
    In the dull December light,
    And work—work—work,
    When the weather is warm and bright—
    While underneath the eaves
    The brooding swallows cling
    As if to show me their sunny backs
    And twit me with the spring.”
    —Thomas Hood (1799–1845)

    “And then in the fulness of joy and hope,
    Seemed washing his hands with invisible soap,
    In imperceptible water.”
    —Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
