4 Thomas Hood Quotes on Work

Thomas Hood quotes on work

11. Seem'd washing his hands with invisible soap In imperceptible water.

15. With fingers weary and worn, With eyelids heavy and red, A woman sat, in unwomanly rags, Plying her needle and thread- Stitch! stitch! stitch! In poverty, hunger, and dirt, And still with a voice of dolorous pitch She sang the 'Song of the Shirt.'
