Famous quotes containing the words wesley and/or snyder:

    See him, when starved to death and turned to dust,
    Presented with a monumental bust!
    The poet’s fate is here in emblem shown:
    He asked for bread, and he received a stone.
    —Samuel Wesley (1691–1739)

    riding flatcars to Fresno,
    Across the whole country
    Steep towns, flat towns, even New York,
    And oceans and Europe & libraries & galleries
    And the factories they make rubbers in
    —Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
