Woman Refugee

Famous quotes containing the words woman and/or refugee:

    “With fingers weary and worn,
    With eyelids heavy and red,
    A woman sat, in unwomanly rags
    Plying her needle and thread—
    Stitch! stitch! stitch!
    In poverty, hunger, and dirt,”
    —Thomas Hood (1799–1845)

    “The refugee uncertain at the door
    You make at home; deftly you steady
    The drunk clambering on his undulant floor.”
    —John Frederick Nims (b. 1913)
