Mechanical Work

Famous quotes containing the words mechanical and/or work:

    There is only one evil, to deny life
    As Rome denied Etruria
    And mechanical America Montezuma still.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    O dearly-bought revenge, yet glorious!
    Living or dying thou hast fulfill’d
    The work for which thou wast foretold
    To Israel, and now ly’st victorious
    Among thy slain self-kill’d
    Not willingly, but tangl’d in the fold
    Of dire necessity
    John Milton (1608–1674)
