Famous quotes containing the words han and/or china:
“Certes this dream, which ye han met tonight,
Cometh of the great superfluity
Of your redde colera,”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“Riot in Algeria, in Cyprus, in Alabama;
Aged in wrong, the empires are declining,
And China gathers, soundlessly, like evidence.
What shall I say to the young on such a morning?—
Mind is the one salvation?—also grammar?—
No; my little ones lean not toward revolt.”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
