Famous quotes containing the words stony and/or brook:

    “What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
    Out of this stony rubbish?”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “I never drank of Aganippe well,
    Nor ever did in shade of Tempe sit,
    And muses scorn with vulgar brains to dwell;
    Poor layman I, for sacred rites unfit.
    Some do I hear of poets’ fury tell,
    But, God wot, wot not what they mean by it;
    And this I swear by blackest brook of hell,
    I am no pickpurse of another’s wit.”
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
