Labour

Famous quotes containing the word labour:

“Let no one till his death
Be called unhappy. Measure not the work
Until the day’s out and the labour done.”

Left in the quarry;”

“Through throats where many rivers meet, the curlews cry,
Under the conceiving moon, on the high chalk hill,
And there this night I walk in the white giant’s thigh
Where barrren as boulders women lie longing still
To labour and love though they lay down long ago.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
