Famous quotes containing the words worm and/or base:
“The worm artist
out of soil, by passage
of himself
constructing.
Castles of metaphor!”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“I am sure my bones would not rest in an English grave, or my clay mix with the earth of that country. I believe the thought would drive me mad on my death-bed could I suppose that any of my friends would be base enough to convey my carcass back to her soil. I would not even feed her worms if I could help it.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
