Heavy

Famous quotes containing the word heavy:

    Whenas the Chill Sirocco blowes,
    And Winter tells a heavy tale;
    When Pyes and Dawes and Rookes and Crows,
    Sit cursing of the frosts and snowes;
    Then give me Ale.
    Thomas Bonham (d. 1629?)

    You will surely wear yourself out, both you and these people with you. For the task is too heavy for you; you cannot do it alone.
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 18:18.

    Moses’ father-in-law to Moses.

    With fingers weary and worn,
    With eyelids heavy and red,
    A woman sat, in unwomanly rags
    Plying her needle and thread—
    Stitch! stitch! stitch!
    In poverty, hunger, and dirt,
    Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
