A millstone and the human heart are driven ever round,
If they have nothing else to grind, they must themselves be ground.


The Belfry of Bruges and Other Poems (ed. 1846)


A millstone and the human heart are driven ever round, If they have nothing else to grind, they must themselves be ground.

A millstone and the human heart are driven ever round, If they have nothing else to grind, they must themselves be ground.

A millstone and the human heart are driven ever round, If they have nothing else to grind, they must themselves be ground.

A millstone and the human heart are driven ever round, If they have nothing else to grind, they must themselves be ground.
