Mortar Motor Carriage

Famous quotes containing the words mortar, motor and/or carriage:

    For the first time I’m content to see
    What poor mortar and bricks
    I have to build with, knowing that I can
    Never in seventy years be more a man
    Than now a sack of meal upon two sticks.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    What shall we do with country quiet now?
    A motor drones insanely in the blue
    Like a bad bird in a dream.

    Because I could not stop for Death—
    He kindly stopped for me—
    The Carriage held but just Ourselves—
    And Immortality.
