Heavy

Famous quotes containing the word heavy:

    Like vinegar on a wound is one who sings songs to a heavy heart. Like a moth in clothing or a worm in wood, sorrow gnaws at the human heart.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 25:20.

    Death,
    you lie in my arms like a cherub,
    as heavy as bread dough.
    Your milky wings are as still as plastic.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The world, unfathomably fair,
    Is duller than a witling’s jest.
    Love wakes men, once a lifetime each;
    They lift their heavy lids, and look;
    And, lo, what one sweet page can teach,
    They read with joy, then shut the book.
    Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore (1823–1896)
