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)

    But I would cry,
    rooted into the wall that
    was once my mother,
    if I could remember how
    and if I had the tears.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
