Stony Ridge

Famous quotes containing the words stony and/or ridge:

    “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)
