Famous quotes containing the words west and/or street:
“East Side, West Side,
All around the town.”
—Charles B. Lawlor (1852–1925)
“And men left down their work and came,
And women with petticoats coloured like flame.
And little bare feet that were blue with cold,
Went dancing back to the age of gold,
And all the world went gay, went gay,
For half an hour in the street to-day.”
—“Seumas” “O’Sullivan” (1879–1958)
