Hardy

Famous quotes containing the word hardy:

    “A sparrow enters the tree,
    Whereon immediately
    A snow lump thrice his own slight size
    Descends on him and showers his head and eyes,
    And overturns him,”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “Only a man harrowing clods
    In a slow silent walk
    With an old horse that stumbles and nods
    Half asleep as they stalk.”

    And so do I;
    When beeches drip in browns and duns,
    And thresh, and ply;”
