Town Hall Tonight

Famous quotes containing the words town, hall and/or tonight:

    The time you won your town the race
    We chaired you through the market-place;
    Man and boy stood cheering by,
    And home we brought you shoulder-high.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)

    And tonight our skins, our bones,
    that have survived our fathers,
    will meet, delicate in the hold,
    fastened together in an intricate
    lock. Then one of us will shout,
    “My need is more desperate!”
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
