Oil Whirl

Famous quotes containing the words oil and/or whirl:

    “Eat what you can get.
    Where’s the salt
    in this dump of a village?

    what’s the use
    of a salty thing
    if there’s no oil in it?”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    “Dizzily down the abyss he wheels—
    So fell Darius. Upon his crown,
    In the midst of the barn-yard he came down,
    In a wonderful whirl of tangled strings,
    Broken braces and broken springs,
    Broken tail and broken wings,”
    —John Townsend Trowbridge (1827–1916)
