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)
