Famous quotes containing the words stony and/or brook:
“With loves light wings did I oerperch these walls,

And what love can do, that dares love attempt.”

“A leaping tongue of bloom the scythe had spared
Beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared.
The mower in the dew had loved them thus,
By leaving them to flourish, not for us,
Nor yet to draw one thought of ours to him,
But from sheer morning gladness at the brim.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
