Railways Built

Famous quotes containing the words railways and/or built:

    “There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection.”
    —H.G. (Herbert George)

    “Others built beautifully and well,
    but fell
    to lie
    like a bleached hull;
    other sea-cities have faltered
    and striven with the tide.”
