Canada Day Coloured

Famous quotes containing the words canada, day and/or coloured:

    Though the words Canada East on the map stretch over many rivers and lakes and unexplored wildernesses, the actual Canada, which might be the colored portion of the map, is but a little clearing on the banks of the river, which one of those syllables would more than cover.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Then down came the lid—the day was lost, for art, at Sarajevo. World-politics stepped in, and a war was started which has not ended yet: a “war to end war.” But it merely ended art. It did not end war.
    Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)

    Dry as a tomb, your coloured lids
    Shall not be latched while magic glides
    Sage on the earth and sky;
    There shall be corals in your beds,
    There shall be serpents in your tides,
    Till all our sea-faiths die.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
