Beggar

Famous quotes containing the word beggar:

“A beggar said, “They get the most
Whom man or devil cannot tire,
And what could make their muscles taut
Unless desire had made them so?””

““And get a comfortable wife and house
To rid me of the devil in my shoes,”
Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,
“And the worse devil that is between my thighs.””

“She is foremost of those that I would hear praised.
I will talk no more of books or the long war
But walk by the dry thorn until I have found
Some beggar sheltering from the wind, and there
Manage the talk until her name come round.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
