Lever Arm

Famous quotes containing the words lever and/or arm:

    Now William pulled the lever down,
    And click-clack went the printing-press.
    William was the only printer in town
    Who had peeped while the angels undress.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Summoning a child’s voice from a webfoot stone,
    Never never oh never to regret the bugle I wore
    On my cleaving arm as I blasted in a wave.
    Now shown and mostly bare I would lie down,
    Lie down, like down and live
    As quiet as a bone.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
