Shallow Foundations

Famous quotes containing the words shallow and/or foundations:

“On shallow slates the pigeons shift together,
Backing against a thin rain from the west....”

“and the oxen near
The worn foundations of their resting-place,
The holy manger where their bed is corn
And holly torn for Christmas. If they die,
As Jesus, in the harness, who will mourn?
Lamb of the shepherds, Child, how still you lie.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
