Famous quotes containing the word china:

    “The roof of England fell
    Great Paris tolled her bell
    And China staunched her milk and wept for bread”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    “Riot in Algeria, in Cyprus, in Alabama;
    Aged in wrong, the empires are declining,
    And China gathers, soundlessly, like evidence.
    What shall I say to the young on such a morning?—
    Mind is the one salvation?—also grammar?—
    No; my little ones lean not toward revolt.”
    —William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)

    “Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve, I’ve dreamed of havin’ my own things about me. My spinet over there and a table here. My own chairs to rest upon and a dresser over there in that corner, and my own china and pewter shinin’ about me.”
    —Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
