Dust Lanes

Famous quotes containing the words dust and/or lanes:

    A sudden light transfigures a trivial thing, a weather-vane, a wind-mill, a winnowing flail, the dust in the barn door; a moment,—and the thing has vanished, because it was pure effect; but it leaves a relish behind it, a longing that the accident may happen again.
    Walter Pater (1839–1894)

    freeways fifty lanes wide
    on a concrete continent
    spaced with bland billboards
    illustrating imbecile illusions of happiness
    Lawrence Ferlinghetti (b. 1919)
