Essay Mills

Famous quotes containing the words essay and/or mills:

    ‘Twas something we knew all about to begin with
    And needn’t have fared into space like his master
    To find ‘twas the effort, the essay of love.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The logical English train a scholar as they train an engineer. Oxford is Greek factory, as Wilton mills weave carpet, and Sheffield grinds steel. They know the use of a tutor, as they know the use of a horse; and they draw the greatest amount of benefit from both. The reading men are kept by hard walking, hard riding, and measured eating and drinking, at the top of their condition, and two days before the examination, do not work but lounge, ride, or run, to be fresh on the college doomsday.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
