Stony Hill Road

Famous quotes containing the words stony, hill and/or road:

    “An ancient bridge, and a more ancient tower,
    A farmhouse that is sheltered by its wall,

    Where the symbolic rose can break in flower,
    Old ragged elms, old thorns innumerable....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “What was dancing to you then?
    We went from the high gate away
    To a black hill the other side of men
    Where one wild stag stared
    At the going day.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Down the road someone is practicing scales,
    The notes like little fishes vanish with a wink of tails,”
