Steel String

Famous quotes containing the words steel and/or string:

“Through joy and blindness he shall know,
Not caring much to know, that still
Nor lead nor steel shall reach him,”
—Julian Grenfell (1888–1915)

“The Indian remarked as before, “Must have hard wood to cook moose-meat,” as if that were a maxim, and proceeded to get it. My companion cooked some in California fashion, winding a long string of the meat round a stick and slowly turning it in his hand before the fire. It was very good. But the Indian, not approving of the mode, or because he was not allowed to cook it his own way, would not taste it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
