Brick Works

Famous quotes containing the words brick and/or works:

    They dropped separately after the celebration,
    handpicked,
    one after the other like artichoke leaves.
    After that I walked to my car awkwardly
    over the painful bare remains on the brick sidewalk....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Again we mistook a little rocky islet seen through the “drisk,” with some taller bare trunks or stumps on it, for the steamer with its smoke-pipes, but as it had not changed its position after half an hour, we were undeceived. So much do the works of man resemble the works of nature. A moose might mistake a steamer for a floating isle, and not be scared till he heard its puffing or its whistle.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
