Cable Stayed Bridge

Famous quotes containing the words cable, stayed and/or bridge:

    To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.
    Douglass Cross (b. 1920)

    The extra worry began it—on the
    Blue blue mountain—she never set foot
    And then and there. Meanwhile the host
    Mourned her quiet tenure. They all stayed chatting.
    No one did much about eating.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    A circle swoop, and a quick parabola under the bridge arches
    Where light pushes through;
    A sudden turning upon itself of a thing in the air.
    A dip to the water.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
