Filthy

Famous quotes containing the word filthy:

    They dragged you from homeland,
    They chained you in coffles,
    They huddled you spoon-fashion in filthy hatches,
    They sold you to give a few gentlemen ease.
    Sterling Allen Brown (b. 1901)

    What images are these
    That turn dull-eyed away,
    Or shift Time’s filthy load,
    Straighten aged knees,
    Hesitate or stay?
    What heads shake or nod?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    That is your trick, your bit of filthy magic:
    Invisibility, and the anaesthetic power
    To deaden my attention in your direction.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
