Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or wires:
“Some people are like ants. Give them a warm day and a piece of ground and they start digging. There the similarity ends. Ants keep on digging. Most people dont. They establish contact with the soil, absorb so much vernal vigor that they cant stay in one place, and desert the fork or spade to see how the rhubarb is coming and whether the asparagus is yet in sight.”
—Hal Borland (19001978)
“Under a world of whistles, wires and steam
Caboose-like they go ruminating through
Ohio, Indianablind baggage
To Cheyenne tagging . . . Maybe Kalamazoo. See Vagagonds”
—Hart Crane (18991932)
