Famous quotes containing the words key and/or west:

    “I cannot tell what I am as much afraid of, as a woman who invariably washes on Monday. It is a kind of key to character; and if her mouth is not puckered and her brow wrinkled, they will be, unless she repents.”
    —Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)

    “These emblems of twilight have seen at length,
    And the man red-faced and tall seen, leaning
    In the day of his strength
    Not as a pine, but the stiff form
    Against the west pillar....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
