Its billion-ton roller cuts a trench through the very earth, with cañon-like walls; these latter turn upon their master and imprison him. It tears immense granite slabs from the cliffs and carries them along. It grinds granite into powder. I have seen water emerging from glaciers, milk-white with its load of ground-up rocks.
The twelve chargers correspond to the twelve constellations; the twelve bowls of the twelve months; the twelve spoons to the twelve guides of men, which are: the heart, that bestows understanding and insight; the kidneys, that give counsels, good as well as evil; the mouth, that cuts all kinds of food; the tongue, that renders speech impossible; the palate, that tastes the flavors of food; the windpipe, that renders possible breathing and the utterance of sounds; the esophagus, that swallows food and drink; the lungs, that absorbs fluids; the liver, that promotes laughter; the crop, that grinds all food; and the stomach, that affords pleasant sleep.
The orchestra grinds, wails, quivers; then suddenly bursts out into funereal shrieks, like a concert of owls; the hag is now eating, and her wolfish shadow is eating also, greedily moving its jaws and nibbling at another shadow easy to recognize, the arm of a little child.

He that grinds the poor, and goes against scripture as a usurer, 'ill never find his son do well. Howel shall never have my consent to marry Netta, and there's an end of it. 'But suppose they are determined, said Mrs Prothero. 'Then I'll wash my hands of 'em for ever, and vow Netta's no girl of mine.
Sure there's no millstone here? if you want to break millstones you must go farther up to Carnmore, where they make them. Sorra millstone's here, I know." "You know oh, how much you know! I tell you, there's a great Millstone that covers and grinds the whole kingdom, or at least the greatest parts of it that's the Millstone we want to brake, and that we will brake."
"If I tell you are you going to get angry?" "Why should I get angry?" "You are looking very fierce." He altered his expression. "It's the work," he muttered. "When one grinds as I do one does feel fierce." "That's why I'm beginning to well, love Mr. Jernington a little less than I used to. He's almost killing you." "Jernington!" "Yes. It's got to stop." Her voice and manner had quite changed.
If I might borrow a word from a renowned novelist, I would call her 'a charitable grinder, for she grinds from morning till night at a never-ceasing wheel of committees, meetings, and Heaven knows what besides." "She reminds me of the immortal Mrs. Jellyby," observed Cedric airily; but Malcolm shook his head. "No, there is no resemblance. My mother is a clear-headed, practical woman.
Pleasure chews and grinds us; according to the old Greek verse, which says that the gods sell us all the goods they give us; that is to say, that they give us nothing pure and perfect, and that we do not purchase but at the price of some evil. Labour and pleasure, very unlike in nature, associate, nevertheless, by I know not what natural conjunction.
The interior of the mouth of certain species of the shark family, given specially to a diet of oysters, is thickly set with a series of uniformly diffused minute teeth, and another fish of these seas has a gizzard composed of an intensely tough material, lined with membrane resembling shark's skin.
