Pavement

Famous quotes containing the word pavement:

“The pavement slabs burn loose beneath my feet,
A chafing savage, down the decent street;
And passion rends my vitals as I pass,
Where boldly shines your shuttered door of glass.”
—Claude McKay (1889–1948)

“Along the pavement my footsoles
Trod warily on living coals.”
—Elinor Wylie (1885–1928)

“Down in the street there are ice-cream parlors to go to
And the pavement is a nice, bluish slate-gray. People laugh a lot.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
