Surface Underground

Famous quotes containing the words surface and/or underground:

    The surface of the ground in the Maine woods is everywhere spongy and saturated with moisture.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Or as, when an underground train, in the tube, stops too long between stations
    And the conversation rises and slowly fades into silence
    And you see behind every face the mental emptiness deepen
    Leaving only the growing terror of nothing to think about....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
