Sedimentary Rock Fragments

Famous quotes containing the words rock and/or fragments:

    Don’t say, don’t say there is no water
    to solace the dryness at our hearts.
    I have seen
    the fountain springing out of the rock wall
    and you drinking there.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    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)
