Mill Covered Bridge

Famous quotes containing the words mill, covered and/or bridge:

    “—First a shiver, and then a thrill,
    Then something decidedly like a spill,—
    And the parson was sitting up on a rock,
    At half-past nine by the meet’n’-house clock,—
    Just the hour of the Earthquake shock!
    MWhat do you think the parson found,
    When he got up and stared around?
    The poor old chaise in a heap or mound,
    As if it had been to the mill and ground!”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

    “We talked between the Rooms—
    Until the Moss had reached our lips—
    And covered up—our names—”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    “A circle swoop, and a quick parabola under the bridge arches
    Where light pushes through;
    A sudden turning upon itself of a thing in the air.
    A dip to the water.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
