Famous quotes containing the words proposed and/or action:
“The proposed Constitution ... is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both.”

“We have seen the city; it is the gibbous
Mirrored eye of an insect. All things happen
On its balcony and are resumed within,
But the action is the cold, syrupy flow
Of a pageant.”
