Stone

Famous quotes containing the word stone:

    I passed a tomb among green shades
    Where seven anemones with down-dropped heads
    Wept tears of dew upon the stone beneath.
    —Unknown. The Thousand and One Nights.

    Why was I not made of stone like these?
    Sonya Levien (1895–1960)

    This is the dead land
    This is cactus land
    Here the stone images
    Are raised, here they receive
    The supplication of a dead man’s hand
    Under the twinkle of a fading star.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
