Mill Stream

Famous quotes containing the words mill and/or stream:

“—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)

“Is there not
An art, a music, and a stream of words
That shalt be life, the acknowledged voice of life?”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
