Rail Cannon

Famous quotes containing the words rail and/or cannon:

“Old man, it’s four flights up and for what?
Your room is hardly any bigger than your bed.
Puffing as you climb, you are a brown woodcut
stooped over the thin rail and the wornout tread.”

“Hurrah for revolution and cannon come again!
The beggars have changed places, but the lash goes on.”
