Heavy Syllable

Famous quotes containing the words heavy and/or syllable:

“The world, unfathomably fair,
Is duller than a witling’s jest.
Love wakes men, once a lifetime each;
They lift their heavy lids, and look;
And, lo, what one sweet page can teach,
They read with joy, then shut the book.”
—Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore (1823–1896)

“To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.”
