Spinning Wheels

Famous quotes containing the words spinning and/or wheels:

“I, a spinning man,
Glory also this star, bird
Roared, sea born, man torn, blood blest.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The lowing herd wind slowly o’er the lea,
The ploughman homeward plods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me.
Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight,
And all the air a solemn stillness holds,
Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight,
And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds.”
—Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
