Stone

Famous quotes containing the word stone:

““That rough tooth of the sea,” Kineo, great source of arrows and of spears to the ancients, when weapons of stone were used.”

“And when his hours are numbered, and the world
Is all his own, retiring, as he were not,
Leaves, when the sun appears, astonished Art
To mimic in slow structures, stone by stone,
Built in an age, the mad wind’s night-work,
The frolic architecture of the snow.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
