Jules Verne Steam

Famous quotes containing the words verne and/or steam:

    When the cat’s away, the rats dance on the table.
    Swedish proverb, trans. by Verne Moberg.

    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)
