Dithering Engine

Famous quotes containing the words dithering and/or engine:

    I feared
    The belly-cold, the grave-clout, that betrayed
    Me dithering in the drift of cordial seas;
    Ten years are time enough to be dismayed
    By mummy Christ, head crammed between his knees.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    There is a small steam engine in his brain which not only sets the cerebral mass in motion, but keeps the owner in hot water.
    —Unknown. New York Weekly Mirror (July 5, 1845)
