References in classic literature

At the steepest point of the hill there was a little burial-ground, with a Cross and a new large figure of Our Saviour on it; it was a poor figure in wood, done by some inexperienced rustic carver, but he had studied the figure from the life--his own life, maybe--for it was dreadfully spare and thin.

But he lies yonder, under a little heap of poor grass."

Tale Of Two Cities

"I beg for mercy for my poor friend, Harlequin, who has never done the least harm in his life."

No, it is not fair for poor Harlequin, the best friend that I have in the world, to die in my place!"

Adventures Of Pinocchio

This claim, however, I desire to be allowed me only on condition that I preserve strict honesty towards my poor brethren, from whom, if ever I borrow any of that little of which they are possessed, I shall never fail to put their mark upon it, that it may be at all times ready to be restored to the right owner.

The History of Tom Jones a Foundling

Tears which did honor to his manly heart fell from the young man's eyes, as he bent over his poor friend.

"Don't call me poor fellow!" said Tom, solemnly, "I have been poor fellow; but that's all past and gone, now.

Uncle Toms Cabin

The combat, which we describe in a sentence or two, lasted for many weeks in poor Amelia's heart, during which she had no confidante; indeed, she could never have one, as she would not allow to herself the possibility of yielding, though she was giving way daily before the enemy with whom she had to battle.

Then the poor old gentleman revealed the whole truth to her--that his son was still paying the annuity, which his own imprudence had flung away.

Vanity Fair

I arched my poor thin neck, raised my tail a little, and threw out my legs as well as I could, for they were very stiff.

Black Beauty

"Dear friends," she began, raising her voice a little, "you have all of you been to church, and I think you must have heard the clergyman read these words: 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.' Jesus Christ spoke those words--he said he came TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR.

Adam Bede

The peasant-girl, armed with a huge horn comb, was giving her whole attention to the work of disentangling the long black hair of the poor countess, who was uttering little stifled cries, expressive of some instinctive sense of pleasure.

Adieu

I have now in my pocket a letter from your sister Cecilia, received this morning--received three months after her marriage, poor child!--in which she tells me that her husband must unexpectedly shelter under their roof his reduced aunt.

Our Mutual Friend

Besides, I am in a current of ideas which harmonize with this poor little salon where we have suffered so much."

Old Maid

"My feet they are sore, and my limbs they are weary; Long is the way, and the mountains are wild; Soon will the twilight close moonless and dreary Over the path of the poor orphan child.
