Magazine Cut

Famous quotes containing the words magazine and/or cut:

    If a man is a good lawyer, a good physician, a good engineer ... he may be a fool in every other capacity. But no deficiency or mistake of judgment is forgiven to a woman ... and should she fail anywhere, if she has any scientific attainment, or artistic faculty, instead of standing her interest as an excuse, it is censured as an aggravation and offence.
    E.P.P., U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Una, p. 28 ( February 1855)

    He gathers all the parish there;
    Points out the place of either yew,
    Here Baucis, there Philemon, grew.
    Till once a parson of our town,
    To mend his barn, cut Baucis down;
    At which, ‘tis hard to be believed
    How much the other tree was grieved,
    Grew scrubby, died a-top, was stunted:
    So the next parson stubbed and burnt it.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
