Famous quotes containing the words english and/or year:
“The English have all the material requisites for the revolution. What they lack is the spirit of generalization and revolutionary ardour.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“It had been cold since December. Snow fell, first,
At New Year and, from then until April, lay
On everything. Now it had melted, leaving
The gray grass like a pallet, closely pressed;
And dirt. The wind blew in the empty place.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
