Pavement

Famous quotes containing the word pavement:

“Along the pavement my footsoles
Trod warily on living coals.”

A chafing savage, down the decent street;
And passion rends my vitals as I pass,
Where boldly shines your shuttered door of glass.”

And the pavement is a nice, bluish slate-gray. People laugh a lot.”
