Soft Hammers

Famous quotes containing the words soft and/or hammers:

“O why do you walk through the fields in gloves,
Missing so much and so much?
O fat white woman whom nobody loves,
Why do you walk through the fields in gloves,
When the grass is soft as the breast of doves
And shivering sweet to the touch?”
—Frances Cornford (1886–1960)

“Most of the stone a nation hammers goes toward its tomb only. It buries itself alive.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
