Border/politics

Famous quotes containing the words border and/or politics:

“Liberal hopefulness
Regards death as a mere border to an improving picture.”
—William Empson (1906–1984)

“His talk was like a spring, which runs
With rapid change from rocks to roses:
It slipped from politics to puns,
It passed from Mahomet to Moses;
Beginning with the laws which keep
The planets in their radiant courses,
And ending with some precept deep
For dressing eels, or shoeing horses.”
—Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)
