Stand Began

Famous quotes containing the words stand and/or began:

“No man has hired us
With pocketed hands
And lowered faces
We stand about in open places
And shiver in unlit rooms.”

“The extra worry began it—on the
Blue blue mountain—she never set foot
And then and there. Meanwhile the host
Mourned her quiet tenure. They all stayed chatting.
No one did much about eating.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
