Oil Drip Feed

Famous quotes containing the words oil, drip and/or feed:

    I bade, because the wick and oil are spent
    And frozen are the channels of the blood....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    This is the weather the shepherd shuns,
    And so do I;
    When beeches drip in browns and duns,
    And thresh, and ply;
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    Even the utmost goodwill and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody. We do not wish for Friends to feed and clothe our bodies,—neighbors are kind enough for that,—but to do the like office to our spirits. For this few are rich enough, however well disposed they may be.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
