Famous quotes containing the words tom, bridge and/or history:
“And the Angel told Tom if he’d be a good boy,
He’d have God for his father & never want joy.

And got with our bags & our brushes to work.
Tho’ the morning was cold, Tom was happy & warm,
So if all do their duty, they need not fear harm.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)

Where light pushes through;
A sudden turning upon itself of a thing in the air.
A dip to the water.”
