Famous quotes containing the words desert and/or pavement:

    The desert encroaches on the garden. No matter. Sand will do as well as flowers.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    The pavement slabs burn loose beneath my feet,
    A chafing savage, down the decent street;
    And passion rends my vitals as I pass,
    Where boldly shines your shuttered door of glass.
    Claude McKay (1889–1948)
