Coal Brought

Famous quotes containing the words coal and/or brought:

    Coal is a portable climate. It carries the heat of the tropics to Labrador and the polar circle; and it is the means of transporting itself whithersoever it is wanted. Watt and Stephenson whispered in the ear of mankind their secret, that a half-ounce of coal will draw two tons a mile, and coal carries coal, by rail and by boat, to make Canada as warm as Calcutta, and with its comfort brings its industrial power.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    It was a hated judgment, O slender-girls.
    The contest of beautiful-face by beautiful-face
    Has brought this:
    I am sent to death
    To bring honour to the Greeks.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
