Fir Authorities

Famous quotes containing the words fir and/or authorities:

“I remember, I remember
The fir trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky;
It was a childish ignorance,
But now ‘tis little joy
To know I’m further off from Heaven
Than when I was a boy.”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)

“Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder by authorities whom we do not control.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
