Buzz Bars

Famous quotes containing the words buzz and/or bars:

    “... You can hear the small buzz saws whine, the big saw
    Caterwaul to the hills around the village
    As they both bite the wood. It’s all our music.
    One ought as a good villager to like it.
    No doubt it has a sort of prosperous sound,
    And it’s our life.”
    “Yes, when it’s not our death.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The last public hanging in the State took place in 1835 on Prince Hill.... On the fatal day, the victim, a man named Watkins, peering through the iron bars of his cell, and seeing the townfolk scurrying to the place of execution, is said to have remarked, ‘Why is everyone running? Nothing can happen until I get there.’
    —Administration for the State of Con, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
