Famous quotes containing the words steam and/or locomotives:

    “Now that the steam engine rules the world, a title is an absurdity, still I am all dressed up in this title. It will crush me if I do not support it. The title attracts attention to myself.”
    —Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)

    “The flower-fed buffaloes of the spring
    In the days of long ago,
    Ranged where the locomotives sing
    And the prairie flowers lie low:—”
    —Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)
