Place Finish

Famous quotes containing the words place and/or finish:

    In place of a world, there is a city, a point, in which the whole life of broad regions is collecting while the rest dries up. In place of a type-true people, born of and grown on the soil, there is a new sort of nomad, cohering unstably in fluid masses, the parasitical city dweller, traditionless, utterly matter-of-fact, religionless, clever, unfruitful, deeply contemptuous of the countryman and especially that highest form of countryman, the country gentleman.
    Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)

    It is moot whether there be divinities
    As I finish this play by Webster:
    The street-cars are still running however
    And the katharsis fades in the warm water of a yawn.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
