Famous quotes containing the words flush and/or system:
“Say what they will of the glowing independence one feels in the saddle, give me the first morning flush of your cheery pedestrian!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“The system was breaking down. The one who had wandered alone past so many happenings and events began to feel, backing up along the primal vein that led to his center, the beginning of hiccup that would, if left to gather, explode the center to the extremities of life, the suburbs through which one makes one’s way to where the country is.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
