Famous quotes containing the words basaltic and/or rocks:
“I lived for a long time under vast porticos
That maritime suns tinted with a thousand fires,
And whose great pillars, straight and majestuous
In the evening made seem like basaltic caves.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“As a great buck it powerfully appeared,
Pushing the crumpled water up ahead,
And landed pouring like a waterfall,
And stumbled through the rocks with horny tread,
And forced the underbrush—and that was all.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
