Famous quotes containing the words oxen and/or free:
“and the oxen near
The worn foundations of their resting-place,
The holy manger where their bed is corn
And holly torn for Christmas. If they die,
As Jesus, in the harness, who will mourn?
Lamb of the shepherds, Child, how still you lie.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“There are some who praise a man free from disease; to me no man who is poor seems free from disease but to be constantly sick.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
