Poles/culture

Famous quotes containing the words poles and/or culture:

“I see you boys of summer in your ruin.
Man in his maggot’s barren.
And boys are full and foreign in the pouch.
I am the man your father was.
We are the sons of flint and pitch.
O see the poles are kissing as they cross.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“There is something terribly wrong with a culture inebriated by noise and gregariousness.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
