Driven Shaft

Famous quotes containing the words driven and/or shaft:

    It seems
    you that is lifted
    limp and ardent
    off the dark snow
    and shoved in, and driven away.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Why should not our whole life and its scenery be actually thus fair and distinct? All our lives want a suitable background. They should at least, like the life of the anchorite, be as impressive to behold as objects in a desert, a broken shaft or crumbling mound against a limitless horizon.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
