Wilbur

Famous quotes containing the word wilbur:

“An underground grower, blind and a common brown;
Got a misshapen look, it’s nudged where it could;
Simple as soil yet crowded as earth with all.”

The heart winces
For junk and gimcrack,
for jerrybuilt things
And the men who make them
for a little money,”
