Famous quotes containing the words brass and/or steel:
“You could almost see the brass on her gleaming,
Not quite. The mist was to light what red
Is to fire. And her mainmast tapered to nothing,
Without teetering a millimeters measure.
The beads on her rails seemed to grasp at transparence.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“For when they meet, the tensile air
Like fine steel strains under the weight
Of messages that both hearts bear
Pure passion once, now purest hate....”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
