Famous quotes containing the words jewish, hall and/or fame:

    For a Jewish Puritan of the middle class, the novel is serious, the novel is work, the novel is conscientious application—why, the novel is practically the retail business all over again.
    Howard Nemerov (1920–1991)

    I was afraid the waking arm would break
    From the loose earth and rub against his eyes
    A fist of trees, and the whole country tremble
    In the exultant labor of his rise;
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)

    Alas I find the Serpent old
    That, twining in his speckled breast,
    About the flow’rs disguis’d does fold,
    With wreaths of Fame and Interest.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
