Year Silver City

Famous quotes containing the words year, silver and/or city:

    Even an attorney of moderate talent can postpone doomsday year after year, for the system of appeals that pervades American jurisprudence amounts to a legalistic wheel of fortune, a game of chance, somewhat fixed in the favor of the criminal, that the participants play interminably.
    Truman Capote (1924–1984)

    “Of fayre Elisa be your silver song,
    That blessed wight:
    The flowre of virgins, may shee florish long
    In princely plight.
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    Here far from the city we make our roadside stand
    And ask for some city money to feel in hand
    To try if it will not make our being expand,
    And give us the life of the moving-pictures’ promise
    That the party in power is said to be keeping from us.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
