Famous quotes containing the words traffic and/or shell:
“Cry;and upon thy so sore loss
Shall shine the traffic of Jacobs ladder
Pitched betwixt Heaven and Charing Cross.”

“We want some coat woven of elastic steel, stout as the first, and limber as the second. We want a ship in these billows we inhabit. An angular, dogmatic house would be rent to chips and splinters, in this storm of many elements. No, it must be tight, and fit to the form of man, to live at all; as a shell is the architecture of a house founded on the sea.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
