Common Side

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or side:

    You common cry of curs, whose breath I hate
    As reek a’th’rotten fens, whose loves I prize
    As the dead carcasses of unburied men
    That do corrupt my air—I banish you!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
