Heavy

Famous quotes containing the word heavy:

    Now the hungry lion roars,
    And the wolf behowls the moon;
    Whilst the heavy ploughman snores,
    All with weary task fordone.
    Now the wasted brands do glow,
    Whilst the screech-owl, screeching loud,
    Puts the wretch that lies in woe
    In remembrance of a shroud.
    Now it is the time of night,
    That the graves, all gaping wide,
    Every one lets forth his sprite,
    In the church-way paths to glide:
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    O kinsmen of the Three in One,
    O kinsmen, bless the hands that play.
    The notes they waken shall live on
    When all this heavy history’s done;
    Our hands, our hands must ebb away.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
