Famous quotes containing the words thomas h, thomas and/or heaton:

    My brain is dull, my sight is foul,
    I cannot write a verse, or read—
    Then, Pallas, take away thine Owl,
    And let us have a lark instead.
    Thomas Hood (1799–1845)

    A process in the weather of the world
    Turns ghost to ghost; each mothered child
    Sits in their double shade.
    A process blows the moon into the sun,
    Pulls down the shabby curtains of the skin;
    And the heart gives up its dead.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    This philosophy of hate, of religious and racial intolerance, with its passionate urge toward war, is loose in the world. It is the enemy of democracy; it is the enemy of all the fruitful and spiritual sides of life. It is our responsibility, as individuals and organizations, to resist this.
    —Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
