Pine Brook Bridge

Famous quotes containing the words pine, brook and/or bridge:

“Our woods are sylvan, and their inhabitants woodmen and rustics; that is selvaggia, and the inhabitants are salvages.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“deep in the manhood his childhood
so swiftly led to, a small brook rock-leaping
into the rapt, imperious, seagoing river.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923, Anglo–U.S. poet. “The Son.”

“What need the bridge much broader than the flood?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
