Famous quotes containing the words cave, mold and/or beetle:

    Stands the Spring! heralded by its bright-clothed
    Trumpeters, of bough and bush and branch;
    Pale Winter draws away his white hands, loathed,
    And creeps, a leper, to the cave of time.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    indolence read as abnegation,
    slattern thought styled intuition,
    every lapse forgiven, our crime
    only to cast too bold a shadow
    or smash the mold straight off.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    The sense of death is most in apprehension,
    And the poor beetle that we tread upon
    In corporal sufferance finds a pang as great
    As when a giant dies.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
