Sulphur Creek

Famous quotes containing the words sulphur and/or creek:

    Hell in a horn of sulphur and the cloven myth,
    All heaven in a midnight of the sun,
    A serpent fiddled in the shaping-time.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
