Paris Progress

Famous quotes containing the words paris and/or progress:

“I fasted for some forty days on bread and buttermilk
For passing round the bottle with girls in rags or silk,
In country shawl or Paris cloak, had put my wits astray,
And what’s the good of women for all that they can say
Is fol de rol de rolly O.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“They smote and fell, who set the bars
Against the progress of the stars,
And stayed the march of Motherland!”
