Famous quotes containing the words smithy and/or bridge:

    “When Sheba was his lass,
    When she the iron wrought, or
    When from the smithy fire
    It shuddered in the water:
    Harshness of their desire
    That made them stretch and yawn....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Crime seems to change character when it crosses a bridge or a tunnel. In the city, crime is taken as emblematic of class and race. In the suburbs, though, it’s intimate and psychological—resistant to generalization, a mystery of the individual soul.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
