Famous quotes containing the words trunk and/or pistons:
“Let me have
A dram of poison, such soon-speeding gear
As will disperse itself through all the veins
That the life-weary taker may fall dead,
And that the trunk may be discharged of breath
As violently as hasty powder fired
Doth hurry from the fatal cannon’s womb.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Wheels shake the roadbed stone,
The pistons jerk and shove,
I stay up half the night
To see the land I love.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
