Iron Lung

Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or lung:

    Culture is a sham if it is only a sort of Gothic front put on an iron building—like Tower Bridge—or a classical front put on a steel frame—like the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street. Culture, if it is to be a real thing and a holy thing, must be the product of what we actually do for a living—not something added, like sugar on a pill.
    Eric Gill (1882–1940)

    Lord, confound this surly sister,
    Blight her brow with blotch and blister,
    Cramp her larynx, lung and liver,
    In her guts a galling give her.
    —J.M. (John Millington)
