Fet College

Famous quotes containing the words fet and/or college:

    Half-opening her lips to the frost’s morning sigh, how strangely the rose has smiled on a swift-fleeting day of September!
    How audacious it is to advance in stately manner before the blue-tit fluttering in the shrubs that have long lost their leaves, like a queen with the spring’s greeting on her lips;
    to bloom with steadfast hope that, parted from the cold flower-bed, she may be the last to cling, intoxicated, to a young hostess’s breast.
    —Afanasi Fet (1820–1892)

    to this college on the hill above Harlem
    I am the only colored student in my class.
    Langston Hughes (1902–1967)
