    “Ah, Governor [Murphy, of New Jersey], don’t try to deceive me as to the sentiment of the dear people. I have been hearing from the West and the East, and the South seems to be the only section which approves of me at all, and that comes from merely a generous impulse, for even that section would deny me its votes.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    “Hell and damnation,
    life is such fun
    with a ragged greatcoat
    and a Jerry gun!”
    —Alexander Blok (1880–1921)

    “Out of the bosom of the Air,
    Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,
    Over the woodlands brown and bare,
    Over the harvest-fields forsaken,
    Silent, and soft, and slow
    Descends the snow.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
