Hungry

Famous quotes containing the word hungry:

“I sat at a table where were rich food and wine in abundance, and obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not; and I went away hungry from the inhospitable board. The hospitality was as cold as the ices. I thought that there was no need of ice to freeze them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“There, through the broken branches, go
The ravens of unresting thought;
Flying, crying, to and fro,
Cruel claw and hungry throat,
Or else they stand and sniff the wind....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“In the tight belly of the dead
Burrow with hungry head
And inlay maggots like a jewel.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
