Pieces Drop

Famous quotes containing the words pieces and/or drop:

    I was even more surprised at the power of the waves, exhibited on this shattered fragment, than I had been at the sight of the smaller fragments before. The largest timbers and iron braces were broken superfluously, and I saw that no material could withstand the power of the waves; that iron must go to pieces in such a case, and an iron vessel would be cracked up like an egg- shell on the rocks.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Water, water, everywhere,
    And all the boards did shrink;
    Water, water, everywhere
    Nor any drop to drink.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
