Famous quotes containing the words key and/or west:

    “They have thrown away her electric toothbrush, someone else slips
    The key into the lock of her safety-deposit box
    At the Crocker-Anglo Bank; her seat at the cricket matches
    Is warmed by buttocks less delectable than hers.”
    —Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

    “We were young, we were merry, we were very very wise,
    And the door stood open at our feast,
    When there passed us a woman with the West in her eyes,
    And a man with his back to the East.”
    —Mary Elizabeth Coleridge (1861–1907)
