Runs North

Famous quotes containing the words runs and/or north:

    “Across the lonely beach we flit,
    One little sandpiper and I;
    And fast I gather, bit by bit,
    The scattered driftwood, bleached and dry.
    The wild waves reach their hands for it,
    The wild wind raves, the tide runs high,
    As up and down the beach we flit—
    One little sandpiper and I.”
    —Celia Thaxter (”Laighton”)

    “Civilization must be destroyed. The hairy saints
    Of the North have earned this crumb by their complaints.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
