North East

Famous quotes containing the words north and/or east:

“—Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
At the North Pole. . .
And now what? Why, go back.

Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

“I’m glad we’ve been bombed. It makes me feel I can look the East End in the face.”
