Set Franchise

Famous quotes containing the words set and/or franchise:

    I think it better that in times like these
    A poet’s mouth be silent, for in truth
    We have no gift to set a statesman right.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Many famous feet have trod
    Sublunary paths, and famous hands have weighed
    The strength they have against the strength they need;
    And famous lips interrogated God
    Concerning franchise in eternity....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
