Earthen

Famous quotes containing the word earthen:

    Have no fellowship with one that is mightier and richer than thyself: for how agree the kettle and the earthen pot together? For if the one be smitten against the other, it shall be broken.

    Spends on the earthen hide, in the folds and wizenings, flows

    In the gutters of the banked and staring eyes.
