Famous quotes containing the words axe and/or lords:
“I had an old axe which nobody claimed, with which by spells in winter days, on the sunny side of the house, I played about the stumps which I had got out of my bean-field.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

Industrial lords and petty contractors, all go into the dark....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
