Famous quotes containing the word closing:
“It is closing time in the gardens of the West and from now on an artist will be judged only by the resonance of his solitude or the quality of his despair.”

The fifth act of the closing night,
Why, cut it off, piece after piece,
And throw the tough cortex away....”

In waders and peaked cap
Into the showery dark,
A dole-kept breadwinner
But a natural for work.”
