Famous quotes containing the words weight and/or shift:
“But I saw the little-Ant men as they ran
Carrying the worlds weight of the worlds filth
And the filth in the heart of Man
Compressed till those lusts and greeds had a greater heat
than that of the Sun.”
—Dame Edith Sitwell (18871964)
“Someone had literally run to earth
In an old cellar hole in a byroad
The origin of all the family there.
Thence they were sprung, so numerous a tribe
That now not all the houses left in town
Made shift to shelter them without the help
Of here and there a tent in grove and orchard.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
