Lay Citizens

Famous quotes containing the words lay and/or citizens:

“We lay long in the immense tide
Of shade and shadowy desire
And saw the dusk assail the wall,
The black surge, mounting, crash the stone!
Companion of this lust, we fall,
I said lest we should die alone.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“I believe from what I have lately seen that we should be substantially safe were our Citizens Armed, but we have not as many Arms as we have Enemies in the State.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
