Single Wire Earth

Famous quotes containing the words single, wire and/or earth:

    Great works constructed there in nature’s spite
    For scholars and for poets after us,
    Thoughts long knitted into a single thought,
    A dance-like glory that those walls begot.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    A new idea is rarely born like Venus attended by graces
    More commonly it’s modeled of baling wire and acne.
    More commonly it wheezes and tips over.
    Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

    You mean that this little pebble’s been out there hot-roddin’ around the universe?
    —Theodore Simonson. Irvin S. Yeaworth, Jr.. Mooch, The Blob, examining the “meteor” that carried the Blob to earth (1958)
