Lyric Street

Famous quotes containing the words lyric and/or street:

“In the dying world I come from quotation is a national vice. It used to be the classics, now it’s lyric verse.”

“I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
Wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to Rochefoucauld,
If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
And I say, “Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.””
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
