Bleached Flour

Famous quotes containing the words bleached and/or flour:

    Others built beautifully and well,
    but fell
    to lie
    like a bleached hull;
    other sea-cities have faltered
    and striven with the tide.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends on what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
