Famous quotes containing the words west and/or street:
“The west was getting out of gold,
The breath of air had died of cold....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“You had such a vision of the street
As the street hardly understands;
Sitting along the bed’s edge, where
You curled the papers from your hair,
Or clasped the yellow soles of feet
In the palms of both soiled hands.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
