Hand Dug Wells

Famous quotes containing the words hand, dug and/or wells:

    Another hand thy sword shall wield,
    Another hand the standard wave,
    Till from the trumpet’s mouth is pealed
    The blast of triumph o’er thy grave.

    The immense profundity of thought in vulgar locutions, like holes dug by generations of ants.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry;
    The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy;
    The books that people talk about we never can recall;
    And the books that people give us, oh, they’re the worst of all.
    —Carolyn Wells (1870–1942)
