Stir

Famous quotes containing the word stir:

four-inch and stainless steel,
and think of my hip where it lay
for four years like a darkness.”

“Adrift dissolving, bound for death;
Though lumpish thou, a lumbering one—
A lumbering lubbard loitering slow,
Impingers rue thee and go down,
Sounding thy precipice below,
Nor stir the slimy slug that sprawls
Along thy dead indifference of walls.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
