Heavy

Famous quotes containing the word heavy:

    All the junk that goes with being human
    Drops away, hard rock wavers
    Even the heavy present seems to fail
    This bubble of a heart.
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    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)

    With fingers weary and worn,
    With eyelids heavy and red,
    A woman sat, in unwomanly rags,
    Plying her needle and thread—
    Stitch! stitch! stitch!
    In poverty, hunger and dirt
    And still with a voice of dolorous pitch
    She sang the “Song of the Shirt.”
    Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
