Gross Liftoff Weight

Famous quotes containing the words gross and/or weight:

    There are moods in which one feels the impulse to enter a tacit protest against too gross an appetite for pure aesthetics in this starving and sinning world. One turns half away, musingly, from certain beautiful useless things.
    Henry James (1843–1916)

    The weight of its body
    cleverly suspended
    by its own wings,
    the bee
    sips at the bud
    of the night-blooming jasmine,
    opening it,
    greedy for its juice.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
