Suny Stony Brook

Famous quotes containing the words stony and/or brook:

    “Did ye not hear it?—No; ‘twas but the wind,
    Or the car rattling o’er the stony street;
    On with the dance! let joy be unconfined;
    No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet
    To chase the glowing Hours with flying feet.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Our life runs down in sending up the clock.
    The brook runs down in sending up our life.
    The sun runs down in sending up the brook.
    And there is something sending up the sun.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
