Dust Shell

Famous quotes containing the words dust and/or shell:

“The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“I was even more surprised at the power of the waves, exhibited on this shattered fragment, than I had been at the sight of the smaller fragments before. The largest timbers and iron braces were broken superfluously, and I saw that no material could withstand the power of the waves; that iron must go to pieces in such a case, and an iron vessel would be cracked up like an egg- shell on the rocks.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
