Famous quotes containing the words notable, positions and/or held:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail.

“And knew that nature could not more refine
What it had given in a looking-glass
And held there, after the living body’s line
Has moved wherever it must move ...”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
