Heel Stone

Famous quotes containing the words heel and/or stone:

    Poor men have grown to be rich men,
    And rich men grown to be poor again,
    And I am running to Paradise;
    And many a darling wit’s grown dull
    That tossed a bare heel when at school,
    Now it has filled an old sock full....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    At first your mother said . . . why me! why me!
    But she got over that. Now she enjoys
    her dull daily care and her hectic bravery.
    You do not love anyone. She is not growing a boy;
    she is enlarging a stone to wear around her neck.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
