Famous quotes containing the words culver and/or city:
“Like as the culver on the bared bough
Sits mourning for the absence of her mate,”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
“The language of the younger generation ... has the brutality of the city and an assertion of threatening power at hand, not to come. It is military, theatrical, and at its most coherent probably a lasting repudiation of empty courtesy and bureaucratic euphemism.”
—Elizabeth Hardwick (b. 1916)
