Stone Mites

Famous quotes containing the words stone and/or mites:

    “You sang far better than you knew; the songs
    That for your listeners’ hungry hearts sufficed
    Still live,—but more than this to you belongs:
    You sang a race from wood and stone to Christ.”
    —James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)

    “Dead men may envy living mites in cheese,
    Or good germs even. Microbes have their joys,
    And subdivide, and never come to death.”
