Famous quotes containing the words boulevard, queens, park, drive and/or line:
“Arrive in the afternoon, the late light slanting
In diluted gold bars across the boulevard brag
Of proud, seamed faces with mercy and murder hinting
here, there, interrupting, all deep and debonair,
The pink paint on the innocence of fear;
Walk in a gingerly manner up the hall.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

It might call up a new age, calling to mind
The queens that were imagined long ago,
Is but half yours....””

And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.
We sat in the car park till twenty to one
And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”

“Who will go drive with Fergus now,
And pierce the deep wood’s woven shade,
And dance upon the level shore?”
