Brook

Famous quotes containing the word brook:

“No one would know except for ancient maps
That such a brook ran water. But I wonder
If from its being kept forever under,
The thoughts may not have risen that so keep
This new-built city from both work and sleep.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“[T]he dignity of parliament it seems can brook no opposition to it’s power. Strange that a set of men who have made sale of their virtue to the minister should yet talk of retaining dignity!”

“A brook that was the water of the house,
Cold as a spring as yet so near its source,
Too lofty and original to rage.”
