Clay Bodies

Famous quotes containing the words clay and/or bodies:

    Was it for this the clay grew tall?
    MO what made fatuous sunbeams toil
    To break earth’s sleep at all?
    Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    Love is sinister,
    is mean to us in separation;
    makes our thin bodies thinner.
    This fellow Death
    lacks mercy
    and is good at counting our days.
    And Master,
    you, too, are subject
    to the plague of jealousy
    so think:
    how could womenfolk,
    soft as sprouts,
    live like this?
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
