Famous quotes containing the words subsequent, drive and/or letters:

    And he smiled a kind of sickly smile, and curled up on the floor, And the subsequent proceedings interested him no more.

    Why should I let the toad work
    Squat on my life?
    Can’t I use my wit as a pitchfork
    And drive the brute off?
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    It is hard to believe that England is so near as from your letters it appears; and that this identical piece of paper has lately come all the way from there hither, begrimed with the English dust which made you hesitate to use it; from England, which is only historical fairyland to me, to America, which I have put my spade into, and about which there is no doubt.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
