Famous quotes containing the words steam and/or organ:

    “A steam ran small and terrible and shrill;
    it was so still;

    and returned and ran
    back into shadow.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “Nature is so perfect that the Trinity couldn’t have fashioned her any more perfect. She is an organ on which our Lord plays and the devil works the bellows.”
