Famous quotes containing the words stream and/or discharge:
“When cats run home and light is come,
And dew is cold upon the ground,
And the far-off stream is dumb,
And the whirring sail goes round,
And the whirring sail goes round;
Alone and warming his five wits,
The white owl in the belfry sits.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“It is wonderful when a calculation is made, how little the mind is actually employed in the discharge of any profession.”
