High Pressure Steam

Famous quotes containing the words high, pressure and/or steam:

    How tall the buildings were as I began
    To live, and how high the rain that battered them!
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The area [of toilet training] is one where a child really does possess the power to defy. Strong pressure leads to a powerful struggle. The issue then is not toilet training but who holds the reins—mother or child? And the child has most of the ammunition!
    Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)

    A steam ran small and terrible and shrill;
    it was so still;
    the stream ran from the oak-copse
    and returned and ran
    back into shadow.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
