Famous quotes containing the words mill and/or marked:
“—First a shiver, and then a thrill,
Then something decidedly like a spill,—
And the parson was sitting up on a rock,
At half-past nine by the meet’n’-house clock,—
Just the hour of the Earthquake shock!
MWhat do you think the parson found,
When he got up and stared around?
The poor old chaise in a heap or mound,
As if it had been to the mill and ground!”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
“He whom God has touched will always be a being apart: he is, whatever he may do, a stranger among men; he is marked by a sign.”
—Ernest Renan (1823–1892)
