Dragging

Famous quotes containing the word dragging:

    I saw the strange position of his hands
    Up at his shoulders, dragging yellow strands
    Of wire with something in it from men to men.
    “You here?” I said. “Where aren’t you nowadays?...”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Can they never tell
    What is dragging them back, and how it will end? Not at night?
    Not when the strangers come? Never, throughout
    The whole hideous inverted childhood? Well,
    We shall find out.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Her man falling asleep,
    limp from dragging a plow sunk in mud,
    the slattern curses the rains,
    her pleasures unfinished.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
