Famous quotes containing the words jamaica, summer, results and/or event:
“So in Jamaica it is the aim of everybody to talk English, act English and look English. And that last specification is where the greatest difficulties arise.

“yet another summer loath to go
Although the scythes hang in the apple trees.”

“Silence is to all creatures thus attacked the only means of salvation; it fatigues the Cossack charges of the envious, the enemy’s savage ruses; it results in a cruising and complete victory.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“Found a family, build a state,
The pledged event is still the same:
Matter in end will never abate
His ancient brutal claim.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
