Northern Wall

Famous quotes containing the words northern and/or wall:

    Warmest climes but nurse the cruelest fangs: the tiger of Bengal crouches in spiced groves of ceaseless verdure. Skies the most effulgent but basket the deadliest thunders: gorgeous Cuba knows tornadoes that never swept tame northern lands.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Last night you wrote on the wall: Revolution is poetry.
    Today you needn’t write; the wall has tumbled down.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
