Idle Hour

Famous quotes containing the words idle and/or hour:

    Therefore with idle hands and head I sit
    In late December before the fire’s daze
    Punished by crimes of which I would be quit.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    For poetry, he’s past his prime,
    He takes an hour to find a rhyme;
    His fire is out, his wit decayed,
    His fancy sunk, his muse a jade.
    I’d have him throw away his pen,
    But there’s no talking to some men.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
