Tight

Famous quotes containing the word tight:

In my veins, in my bones I feel it,—
The small waters seeping upward,
The tight grains parting at last.”

They are provident instead,
Content in the tight hot cell of their hearts
To eat dusty bread.”

Burrow with hungry head
And inlay maggots like a jewel.”
