Famous quotes containing the words heavy, iron and/or sword:

With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat, in unwomanly rags
Plying her needle and thread—
Stitch! stitch! stitch!
In poverty, hunger, and dirt,”

When she the iron wrought, or
When from the smithy fire
It shuddered in the water:
Harshness of their desire
That made them stretch and yawn....”

In the ranks of death you’ll find him,
His father’s sword he has girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him.”
