Western Contra Costa

Famous quotes containing the words western and/or contra:

    So motionless, she seemed stone dead—just seemed:
    She was too old for death, too old for life,
    For as if jealous of all living forms
    She had lain there before bivalves began
    To catacomb their shells on western mountains.
    Edwin John Pratt (1882–1964)

    What is this that roareth thus?
    Can it be a Motor Bus?
    Yes, the smell and hideous hum
    Indicat Motorem Bum ...
    Domine, defende nos Contra hos Motores Bos!
    Alfred Godley (1856–1925)
