Relief Fragments

Famous quotes containing the words relief and/or fragments:

    “Pop” Wyman ruled here with a firm but gentle hand; no drunken man was ever served at the bar; no married man was allowed to play at the tables; across the face of the large clock was written “Please Don’t Swear,” and over the orchestra appeared the gentle admonition, “Don’t Shoot the Pianist—He’s Doing His Damndest.”

    I decided that if the shaking of her breasts could be stopped,
    some of the fragments of the afternoon might be collected, and
    I concentrated my attention with careful subtlety to this end.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
