William Dewitt Snodgrass

Famous quotes containing the words dewitt snodgrass, william, dewitt and/or snodgrass:

    Up the reputable walks of old established trees
    They stalk, children of the nouveaux riches; chimes
    Of the tall Clock Tower drench their heads in blessing:
    “I don’t wanna play at your house;
    I don’t like you any more.”
    My house stands opposite, on the other hill,
    —William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)

    I often think it’s comical
    How Nature always does contrive
    That every boy and every gal,
    That’s born into the world alive,
    Is either a little Liberal,
    Or else a little Conservative!
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    —All this Dark Age machinery
    On which we had tormented you
    To life.
    —William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)

    Before we drained out one another’s force
    With lies, self-denial, unspoken regret
    And the sick eyes that blame; before the divorce
    And the treachery.
    —William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
