Hood

Famous quotes containing the word hood:

“Work—work—work,
In the dull December light,
And work—work—work,
When the weather is warm and bright—
While underneath the eaves
The brooding swallows cling
As if to show me their sunny backs
And twit me with the spring.”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)

“But who would rush at a benighted man,
And give him two black eyes for being blind?”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)

“One more Unfortunate,
Weary of breath,
Rashly importunate,
Gone to her death!

Take her up tenderly,
Lift her with care;
Fashioned so slenderly,
Young, and so fair!”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
