Roads Bridge Tunnel

Famous quotes containing the words roads, bridge and/or tunnel:

    “Other roads do some violence to Nature, and bring the traveler to stare at her, but the river steals into the scenery it traverses without intrusion, silently creating and adorning it, and is as free to come and go as the zephyr.”

    “I see four nuns
    who sit like a bridge club,
    their faces poked out
    from under their habits,”

    “It is the light
    At the end of the tunnel as it might be seen
    By him looking out somberly at the shower,
    The picture of hope a dying man might turn away from,
    Realizing that hope is something else, something concrete
    You can’t have.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
