Bar Flaubert

Famous quotes containing the words bar and/or flaubert:

    O City city, I can sometimes hear
    Beside a public bar in Lower Thames Street,
    The pleasant whining of a mandolin
    And a clatter and a chatter from within
    Where fishmen lounge at noon.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    I love my work with a frenetic and perverse love, as an ascetic loves the hair shirt which scratches his belly.
    —Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
