Clumsy

Famous quotes containing the word clumsy:

“lady through whose profound and fragile lips
the sweet small clumsy feet of April came

into the ragged meadow of my soul.”
—E.E. (Edward Estlin)

“A clumsy fool claims his knife is blunt.”
—Chinese proverb.

“She’s just a child,
but I’m the one who’s fainthearted.
She’s the woman,
but I’m the coward.
She bears that high, swollen set of breasts,
but I’m the one who’s burdened.
The heavy hips are hers,
but I’m unable to move.
It’s a wonder
how clumsy I’ve become
because of flaws
that shelter themselves
in another.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
