Beggar

Famous quotes containing the word beggar:

““Nor should she be too rich, because the rich
Are driven by wealth as beggars by the itch,”

And thereafter he belongs to it, to bread
Hard found, and water tasting of misery.”

and she at the moon, his face,
while crows are pecking
at her ladle
and his begging-bowl.”
