Tower Element

Famous quotes containing the words tower and/or element:

    The tower said, “One!”
    And then a steeple.
    They spoke to themselves....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Every American, to the last man, lays claim to a “sense” of humor and guards it as his most significant spiritual trait, yet rejects humor as a contaminating element wherever found. America is a nation of comics and comedians; nevertheless, humor has no stature and is accepted only after the death of the perpetrator.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
