Camp David Negotiations

Famous quotes containing the words camp, david and/or negotiations:

    There was a deserted log camp here, apparently used the previous winter, with its “hovel” or barn for cattle.... It was a simple and strong fort erected against the cold, and suggested what valiant trencher work had been done there.

    The American has dwindled into an Odd Fellow—one who may be known by the development of his organ of gregariousness.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    But always and sometimes questioning the old modes
    And the new wondering, the poem, growing up through the floor,
    Standing tall in tubers, invading and smashing the ritual
    Parlor, demands to be met on its own terms now,
    Now that the preliminary negotiations are at last over.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
