Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or eyes:

    “The greatest, or rather the most prominent, part of this city was constructed with the design to offer the deadest resistance to leaden and iron missiles that might be cast against it. But it is a remarkable meteorological and psychological fact, that it is rarely known to rain lead with much violence, except on places so constructed.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “filing
    endlessly through his blue
    blinking eyes into
    the world within him”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
