The great grindstone, Earth, had turned when Mr Lorry looked out again, and the sun was red on the court-yard. But, the lesser grindstone stood alone there in the calm morning air, with a red upon it that the sun had never given, and would never take away. The Grindstone. From "A Tale of Two Cities" Penguin Classics 2003 (but first published in 1859).
