Edge Pieces

Famous quotes containing the words edge and/or pieces:

“A whisper ran along the edge of the dawn.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

“I was even more surprised at the power of the waves, exhibited on this shattered fragment, than I had been at the sight of the smaller fragments before. The largest timbers and iron braces were broken superfluously, and I saw that no material could withstand the power of the waves; that iron must go to pieces in such a case, and an iron vessel would be cracked up like an egg- shell on the rocks.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
