Lewis Acids

Famous quotes containing the words lewis and/or acids:

    Nearing again the legendary isle
    Where sirens sang and mariners were skinned,
    We wonder now what was there to beguile
    That such stout fellows left their bones behind.
    —Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

    The new American finds his challenge and his love in the traffic-choked streets, skies nested in smog, choking with the acids of industry, the screech of rubber and houses leashed in against one another while the townlets wither a time and die.
    John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
