Cylinder Bore

Famous quotes containing the words cylinder and/or bore:

    The outline of the city became frantic in its effort to explain something that defied meaning. Power seemed to have outgrown its servitude and to have asserted its freedom. The cylinder had exploded, and thrown great masses of stone and steam against the sky.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    So we may never
    Again feel fully confident of the stratagem that bore us
    And lived on a certain time after that. And it went away
    Little by little, as most things do. To profit
    By this mainstream is today’s chore and adventure.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
