Lodgepole Needle Miner

Famous quotes containing the words needle and/or miner:

    Up through the lubber crust of Wales
    I rocketed to astonish
    The flashing needle rock of squatters,
    The criers of Shabby and Shorten,
    The famous stitch droppers.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Writing is to descend like a miner to the depths of the mine with a lamp on your forehead, a light whose dubious brightness falsifies everything, whose wick is in permanent danger of explosion, whose blinking illumination in the coal dust exhausts and corrodes your eyes.
    Blaise Cendrars (1887–1961)
