Famous quotes containing the word span:
“A tree that can fill the span of a man’s arms
Grows from a downy tip;
A terrace nine stories high
Rises from hodfuls of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles
Starts from beneath one’s feet.”
—Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)

Loped under wires that span the mountain stream.”

The Open Road—thy vision is reclaimed!
What heritage thou’st signalled to our hands!”
