Philip Gilbert Hamerton Quote
Some have iron thews and sinews, some are muscular of mind; Learned savans, skilful blacksmiths, each are noble in their kind. But to give the savan's wisdom to the hammer and the shears, Come those intermediate workers, — England's civil engineers.
The Isles of Loch Awe and Other Poems of My Youth, The Britannia Bridge, l. 1-4
