Crusted Mud

Famous quotes containing the words crusted and/or mud:

    The five kings count the dead but do not soften
    The crusted wound nor stroke the brow;
    A hand rules pity as a hand rules heaven;
    Hands have no tears to flow.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    To-night, His frost will fasten on this mud and us,
    Shriveling many hands, puckering foreheads crisp.
    The burying-party, picks and shovels in their shaking grasp,
    Pause over half-known faces. All their eyes are ice,
    But nothing happens.
    Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
