Crusted Mud

Famous quotes containing the words crusted and/or mud:

“One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“The swimming hole is still in use. It has the same mudbank. It is still impossible to dress without carrying mud home in one’s inner garments. As an engineer I could devise improvements for that swimming hole. But I doubt if the decrease in mother’s grief at the homecoming of muddy boys would compensate the inherent joys of getting muddy.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
