Heavy

Famous quotes containing the word heavy:

    The heavy burden of the growing soul
    Perplexes and offends more, day by day;
    Week by week, offends and perplexes more
    With the imperatives of “is and seems”
    And may and may not, desire and control.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    I wish you would moderate that fondness you have for your children. I do not mean you should abate any part of your care, or not do your duty to them in its utmost extent, but I would have you early prepare yourself for disappointments, which are heavy in proportion to their being surprising.
    Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)

    The heavy trees,
    The grunting, shuffling branches, the robust,
    The nocturnal, the antique, the blue-green pines
    Deepen the feelings to inhuman depths.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
