Insufficient Bone

Famous quotes containing the words insufficient and/or bone:

    his mouth redeemed
    His insufficient eyes, forever sad:
    In them there was no life-glimpse, good or bad,
    Nor joy nor passion in them ever gleamed;
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    Fowls in the frith,
    Fishes in the flood,
    And I must wax wod:
    Much sorrow I walk with
    For best of bone and blood.
    —Unknown. Fowls in the Frith. . .
