Saint John Bridge

Famous quotes containing the words saint and/or bridge:

    “O Paddy dear, an’ did ye hear the news that’s goin’ round?
    The shamrock is by law forbid to grow on Irish ground!
    No more Saint Patrick’s Day we’ll keep, his colour can’t be seen,
    For there’s a cruel law agin the wearin’ o’ the Green!”
    —Unknown. The Wearing of the Green (l. 37–40)

    “A circle swoop, and a quick parabola under the bridge arches
    Where light pushes through;
    A sudden turning upon itself of a thing in the air.
    A dip to the water.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
