Famous quotes containing the words laredo and/or bridge:

    “‘Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly,
    Play the Dead March as you carry me along;
    Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod o’er me,
    For I’m a young cowboy and I know I’ve done wrong.”
    —Unknown. As I Walked Out in the Streets of Laredo (l. 5–8)

    “I see four nuns
    who sit like a bridge club,
    their faces poked out
    from under their habits,”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
