Brown Street

Famous quotes containing the words brown and/or street:

    “Me did he send a love-letter,
    He sent it from the town,
    Saying no more he loved me,
    For that I was so brown.
    —Unknown. The Brown Girl (l. 9–12)

    And men left down their work and came,
    And women with petticoats coloured like flame.
    And little bare feet that were blue with cold,
    Went dancing back to the age of gold,
    And all the world went gay, went gay,
    For half an hour in the street to-day.
    “Seumas” “O’Sullivan” (1879–1958)
