Iron Ridge

Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or ridge:

    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)

    The light passes
    from ridge to ridge,
    from flower to flower—
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
