Van Nest Park

Famous quotes containing the words van, nest and/or park:

    It’s not that we want the political jobs themselves ... but they seem to be the only language the men understand. We don’t really want these $200 a year jobs. But the average man doesn’t understand working for a cause.
    —Jennie Carolyn Van Ness (b. c. 1890–?)

    This face is a dog’s snout sniffing for garbage,
    Snakes nest in that mouth, I hear the sibilant threat.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    Therefore awake! make haste, I say,
    And let us, without staying,
    All in our gowns of green so gay
    Into the Park a-maying!
    Unknown. Sister, Awake! (L. 9–12)
