Belgian General Strike

Famous quotes containing the words belgian, general and/or strike:

    This fat pistache of Belgian grapes exceeds
    The total gala of auburn aureoles.
    Cochon! Master, the grapes are here and now.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    Could beauty be beaten out,
    O youth the cities have sent
    to strike at each other’s strength,
    it is you who have kept her alight.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
