"Half-starved spiders prey'd on half-starved flies."

Churchill, Charles on famine    Share


"There are flood and drought over the eyes and in the mouth, dead water and dead sand contending for the upper hand. The parched eviscerate soil gapes at the vanity of toil, laughs without mirth. This is the death of the earth."

Eliot, T. S. on famine    Share

"There was no corn -- in the wide market-place all loathliest things, even human flesh, was sold; They weighed it in small scales -- and many a face was fixed in eager horror then; his gold the miser brought; the tender maid, grown bold through hunger, bared her scorned charms in vain."

Shelley, Percy Bysshe on famine    Share
