Famous quotes containing the words north, arm and/or bridge:
“The North is full of tangled things and texts and aching eyes
And dead is all the innocence of anger and surprise,
And Christian killeth Christian in a narrow dusty room,
And Christian dreadeth Christ that hath a newer face of doom,
And Christian hateth Mary that God kissed in Galilee,”

Where gulls blew over a wave
That fell along miles of sand....”
