Gas Works

Famous quotes containing the words gas and/or works:

“Droning a drowsy syncopated tune,
Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon,
I heard a Negro play.

Down on Lenox Avenue the other night
By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light”
—Langston Hughes (1902–1967)

“It is the art of mankind to polish the world, and every one who works is scrubbing in some part.”
