White Australia

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or australia:

“At middle night great cats with silver claws,
Bodies of shadow and blind eyes like pearls,
Came up out of the hole, and red-eared hounds
With long white bodies came out of the air
Suddenly, and ran at them and harried them.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“I like Australia less and less. The hateful newness, the democratic conceit, every man a little pope of perfection.”
