Famous quotes containing the words relief and/or fragments:
“During the cattle drives, Texas cowboy music came into national significance. Its practical purpose is well known—it was used primarily to keep the herds quiet at night, for often a ballad sung loudly and continuously enough might prevent a stampede.

—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“There came a burst of thunder sound;

With fragments strewed the sea;—”
—Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)
