Servant

Famous quotes containing the word servant:

“I know what wages beauty gives,
How hard a life her servant lives,
Yet praise the winters gone:
There is not a fool can call me friend,
And I may dine at journey’s end
With Landor and with Donne.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

Makes drudgery divine:
Who sweeps a room as for Thy laws
Makes that and th’ action fine.”
