Quotations for ponderous

The sepulchre,
Wherein we saw thee quietly inurn'd,
Hath op'd his ponderous and marble jaws. [ William Shakespeare ]

The ponderous tomes are bales of the mind's merchandise. [ Willmott ]

We bear it calmly, though a ponderous woe, And still adore the hand that gives the blow. [ Pomfret ]

No workman steel, no ponderous axes rung: Like some tall palm the noiseless fabric sprung. [ Bishop Heber ]

The gloomy recess of an ecclesiastical library is like a harbor, into which a far-travelling curiosity has sailed with its freight, and cast anchor; the ponderous tomes are bales of the mind's merchandise; odors of distant countries and times steal from the red leaves the swelling ridges of vellum, and the titles in tarnished gold. [ R. A. Willmott ]
