Ash Fell

Famous quotes containing the words ash and/or fell:

    Of the crow-blue mussel shells, one keeps
    adjusting the ash heaps;
    opening and shutting itself like

    an
    injured fan.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    The first general store opened on the ‘Cold Saturday’ of the winter of 1833 ... Mrs. Mary Miller, daughter of the store’s promoter, recorded in a letter: ‘Chickens and birds fell dead from their roosts, cows ran bellowing through the streets’; but she failed to state what effect the freeze had on the gala occasion of the store opening.
