Quarried

Famous quotes containing the word quarried:

    Under bare Ben Bulben’s head
    In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.
    An ancestor was rector there
    Long years ago, a church stands near,
    By the road an ancient cross.
    No marble, no conventional phrase;
    On limestone quarried near the spot
    By his command these words are cut:
    Cast a cold eye
    On life, on death.
    Horseman pass by!
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “So careful of the type?” but no.
    From scarped cliff and quarried stone
    She cries, “A thousand types are gone;
    I care for nothing, all shall go.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
