Famous quotes containing the words boston and/or red:
“this planned
Babel of Boston where our money talks”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“The frost was on the village roofs as white as ocean foam;
The good red fires were burning bright in every ‘longshore home;
The windows sparkled clear, and the chimneys volleyed out;
And I vow we sniffed the victuals as the vessel went about.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
