Soft Ground

Famous quotes containing the words soft and/or ground:

“There is nothing more poetic and terrible than the skyscrapers’ battle with the heavens that cover them. Snow, rain, and mist highlight, drench, or conceal the vast towers, but those towers, hostile to mystery and blind to any sort of play, shear off the rain’s tresses and shine their three thousand swords through the soft swan of the fog.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)

“I feel ruefully sure, also, that one must be at least one sort of fool to rush in over ground so well trodden by the angels.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
