Broad Street Pump

Famous quotes containing the words broad, street and/or pump:

    Through this broad street, restless ever,
    Ebbs and flows a human tide,
    Wave on wave a living river;
    Wealth and fashion side by side;
    Toiler, idler, slave and master, in the same quick current glide.
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    Outside America I should hardly be believed if I told how simply, in my experience, Dover Street merged into the Back Bay.
    Mary Antin (1881–1949)

    Vivacity, leadership, must be had, and we are not allowed to be nice in choosing. We must fetch the pump with dirty water, if clean cannot be had.
