Captain York

Famous quotes containing the words captain and/or york:

    I would not knock old fellows in the dust
    But there lay Captain Carpenter on his back
    His weapons were the old heart in his bust
    And a blade shook between rotten teeth alack.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    It is often said that New York is a city for only the very rich and the very poor. It is less often said that New York is also, at least for those of us who came there from somewhere else, a city for only the very young.
    Joan Didion (b. 1934)
