Mill Covered Bridge

Famous quotes containing the words mill, covered and/or bridge:

    “—First a shiver, and then a thrill,
    Then something decidedly like a spill,—
    And the parson was sitting up on a rock,
    At half-past nine by the meet’n’-house clock,—
    Just the hour of the Earthquake shock!
    MWhat do you think the parson found,
    When he got up and stared around?
    The poor old chaise in a heap or mound,
    As if it had been to the mill and ground!”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

    “Socialized medicine, some still cry, but it’s long been socialized, with those covered paying for those who are underinsured. American medicine is simply socialized badly, penny wise and pound foolish.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “I see four nuns
    who sit like a bridge club,
    their faces poked out
    from under their habits,”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
