Cylindrical Bore Brass

Famous quotes containing the words bore and/or brass:

“A bore is a man who, when you ask him how he is, tells you.”
—Bert Leston Taylor (1866–1921)

“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 millimeter’s measure.
The beads on her rails seemed to grasp at transparence.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
