Light Alloy

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or alloy:

    With his head over his shoulder turned,
    He seemed to find his way without his eyes,
    For out o’ doors he went without their help,
    And to the last bended their light on me.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
