Coal Brought

Famous quotes containing the words coal and/or brought:

    The discovery of Pennsylvania’s coal and iron was the deathblow to Allaire. The works were moved to Pennsylvania so hurriedly that for years pianos and the larger pieces of furniture stood in the deserted houses.

    Just as much for us that sobbing dirge of Nature,
    Just as much whence we come that blare of the cloud-trumpets,
    We, capricious, brought hither we know not whence, spread out before you,
    You up there walking or sitting,
    Whoever you are, we too lie in drifts at your feet.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
