Iron Piles

Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or piles:

    “And thus we rust Life’s iron chain
    Degraded and alone:
    And some men curse, and some men weep,
    And some men make no moan:
    But God’s eternal Laws are kind
    And break the heart of stone:”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “Immortal glories in my mind revive,
    And in my soul a thousand passions strive,
    When Rome’s exalted beauties I descry
    Magnificent in piles of ruin lie.”
