Local Breakfast Show

Famous quotes containing the words local, breakfast and/or show:

    “Back now to autumn, leaving the ended husk
    Of summer that brought them here for Show Saturday
    The men with hunters, dog-breeding wool-defined women,
    Children all saddle-swank, mugfaced middleaged wives
    Glaring at jellies, husbands on leave from the garden
    Watchful as weasels, car-tuning curt-haired sons
    Back now, all of them, to their local lives....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “You had your breakfast in bed before,
    But you won’t have it there anymore.”
    —Irving Berlin (1888–1989)

    “Their looks show that they’re for it:
    Ash hair, toad hands, prune face dried into lines
    How can they ignore it?”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
