Underground State

Famous quotes containing the words underground and/or state:

    An underground grower, blind and a common brown;
    Got a misshapen look, it’s nudged where it could;
    Simple as soil yet crowded as earth with all.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    Cole’s Hill was the scene of the secret night burials of those who died during the first year of the settlement. Corn was planted over their graves so that the Indians should not know how many of their number had perished.
    —For the State of Massachusetts, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
