Heavy Syllable

Famous quotes containing the words heavy and/or syllable:

    The heavy burden of the growing soul
    Perplexes and offends more, day by day;
    Week by week, offends and perplexes more
    With the imperatives of “is and seems”
    And may and may not, desire and control.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    It was a purely wild and primitive American sound, as much as the barking of a chickaree, and I could not understand a syllable of it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
