“It gives one a sudden start in going down a barren, stony street, to see upon a narrow strip of grass, just within the iron fence, the radiant dandelion, shining in the grass, like a spark dropped from the sun”
Henry Ward Beecher
“Did ye not hear it? - No; 'twas but the wind, / Or the car rattling o'er the stony street;/ On with the dance! let joy be unconfined; / No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet / To chase the glowing Hours with flying feet.”
Lord Byron
“Fall on stony ground”
Proverb
“Minds like beds always made up,(more stony than a shore)unwilling or unable.”
William Carlos Williams
“For stony limits cannot hold love out.And what love can do that dares love attempt.”
William Shakespeare
“Free me, I pray, to go in search of joysUnembroidered by your high, soft voice,Along that stony path the senses pave.”
James Merrill
“A good, tough, physical game against an opponent who played hard. I give Stony Brook a lot of credit, they did a nice job of riding us early. We had a few turnovers early but you're never going to play perfect.”
John Danowski
