Relief Train

Famous quotes containing the words relief and/or train:

    Known commonly as the jackass, this long-eared little creature is respected throughout the southwest—roundly cursed yet respected—and here he is usually referred to by his Spanish name, burro. Because of his extraordinary bray, he is sometimes ironically called the “Arizona Nightingale.”
    —Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Still, I am prepared for this voyage, and for anything else you may care to mention.
    Not that I am not afraid, but there is very little time left.
    You have probably made travel arrangements, and know the feeling.
    Suddenly, one morning, the little train arrives in the station, but oh, so big
    It is! Much bigger and faster than anyone told you.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
