Political Speech

Famous quotes containing the words political and/or speech:

“We are concerned now, however, about natural, not political limits.”

A speech not mine yet speaking for me in
The heaving jelly of my tribal air?
It rises in the throat, it climbs the tongue,
It perches there for secret tutelage....”
