Section Stands

Famous quotes containing the words section and/or stands:

    Ah, Governor [Murphy, of New Jersey], don’t try to deceive me as to the sentiment of the dear people. I have been hearing from the West and the East, and the South seems to be the only section which approves of me at all, and that comes from merely a generous impulse, for even that section would deny me its votes.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    The land is numb.
    It stands beneath the feet, and one may come
    Walking securely, till the sea extends
    Its limber margin, and precision ends.
    Yvor Winters (1900–1968)
