Famous quotes containing the word bridges:

    “And Reason kens he herits in
    A haunted house. Tenants unknown
    Assert their squalid lease of sin
    With earlier title than his own.”
    —Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

    “When Death to either shall come—
    I pray it be first to me.”
    —Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

    “There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection.”
    —H.G. (Herbert George)
