1st Viscount Hudson

Famous quotes containing the words viscount and/or hudson:

    Die, my dear doctor! That’s the last thing I shall do!
    Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston (1784–1865)

    He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The world’s second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
