Famous quotes containing the words stars, league, member and/or clubs:
“The day in his hotness,
The strife with the palm;
The night in her silence,
The stars in their calm . . .”

Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward the Light Brigade!”

“While waiting to get married, several forms of employment were acceptable. Teaching kindergarten was for those girls who stayed in school four years. The rest were secretaries, typists, file clerks, or receptionists in insurance firms or banks, preferably those owned or run by the family, but respectable enough if the boss was an upstanding Christian member of the community.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
“As night returns bringing doubts
That swarm around the sleeper’s head
But are fended off with clubs and knives ...”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
