Wooden Shaft

Famous quotes containing the words wooden and/or shaft:

    It’s the anarchy of poverty
    delights me, the old
    yellow wooden house indented
    among the new brick tenements
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    Lord, crack their teeth! Lord, crush these lions’ jaws!
    So let them sink as water in the sand;
    When deadly bow their aiming fury draws,
    Shiver the shaft ere past the shooter’s hand.
    So make them melt as the dishoused snail
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm LVIII (Paraphrased by the Countess of Pembroke)
