Sweepers Quotes

• Si un hombre está llamado a ser barrendero, debe barrer las calles igual que Miguel Ángel pintaba, o Beethoven componía música o Shakespeare escribía poesía. Debe barrer las calles tan bien que todas las huestes del cielo y de la tierra se detengan para decir: "Aquí vivió un gran barrendero que hizo bien su trabajo".

• I consciously chose a person like the bounty killer [of the Fistful trilogy] because he was the street sweeper of the desert, a man who put his life at risk exclusively for the money. I'm not saying that he went against the law, but he put himself within the wings of the law only when it was something that he could profit by.

• I wander thro' each charter'd street, Near where the charter'd Thames does flow, And mark in every face I meet Marks of weakness, marks of woe. In every cry of every Man, In every Infant's cry of fear, In every voice, in every ban, The mind-forg'd manacles I hear. How the Chimney-sweeper's cry Every black'ning Church appalls; And the hapless Soldier's sigh Runs in blood down Palace walls. But most thro' midnight streets I hear How the youthful Harlot's curse Blasts the new born Infant's tear, And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse.
