Famous quotes containing the words piers and/or butler:
“Three miles long and two streets wide, the town curls around the bay ... a gaudy run with Mediterranean splashes of color, crowded steep-pitched roofs, fishing piers and fishing boats whose stench of mackerel and gasoline is as aphrodisiac to the sensuous nose as the clean bar-whisky smell of a nightclub where call girls congregate.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“I have old women’s secrets now
That had those of the young;
Madge tells me what I dared not think
When my blood was strong....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
