Stone Arch

Famous quotes containing the words stone and/or arch:

    “Fretted shadow on stumps
    A vanishing husk
    Of light . . . grey lumps
    Of stone verge the hills with fears.
    It is quickly dusk.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Dark accurate plunger down the successive knell
    Of arch on arch, where ogives burst a red
    Reverberance of hail upon the dead
    Thunder like an exploding crucible!”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
