Famous quotes containing the words side and/or shaft:
“In those days, the blag slag, the waste of the coal pits, had only begun to cover the side of our hill. Not enough to mar the countryside nor blacken the beauty of our village. For the colliery had only begun to poke its skinny black fingers between the green.”
—Philip Dunne (19081992)
“Its hard to tell you how I managed it.
When I saw the shaft had me by the coat,
I didnt try too long to pull away,
Or fumble for my knife to cut away,
I just embraced the shaft and rode it out....”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
