Famous quotes containing the words red and/or sandstone:
“Oh we drunk his Hale in the good red wine
When we last made company,
No capon priest was the Goodly Fere
But a man o men was he.”
—Ezra Pound (18851972)
“But the lightning which explodes and fashions planets, maker of planets and suns, is in him. On one side elemental order, sandstone and granite, rock-ledges, peat-bog, forest, sea and shore; and on the other part, thought, the spirit which composes and decomposes nature,here they are, side by side, god and devil, mind and matter, king and conspirator, belt and spasm, riding peacefully together in the eye and brain of every man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
