Famous quotes containing the words bridges and and/or bridges:
“There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection.”

Its guardian grasp on blood and brain,
Old terrors then of god or ghost
Creep from their caves to life again;”
