Small Bales

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or bales:

    I can hear, underground, that sucking and sobbing,
    In my veins, in my bones I feel it,—
    The small waters seeping upward,
    The tight grains parting at last.
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    No matter what disaster occurred
    She stood in desperate music wound
    Wound, wound, and she made in her triumph
    Where the bales and the baskets lay
    No common intelligible sound
    But sang, “O sea-starved hungry sea.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
