Famous quotes containing the words underground, state and/or park:
“Or as, when an underground train, in the tube, stops too long between stations
And the conversation rises and slowly fades into silence
And you see behind every face the mental emptiness deepen
Leaving only the growing terror of nothing to think about....”

And let us, without staying,
All in our gowns of green so gay
Into the Park a-maying!”
