Mainland China Border

Famous quotes containing the words china and/or border:

“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)

“Liberal hopefulness
Regards death as a mere border to an improving picture.”
—William Empson (1906–1984)
