Famous quotes containing the words promenade, contra and/or dance:

    The day of the sun is like the day of a king. It is a promenade in the morning, a sitting on the throne at noon, a pageant in the evening.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    What is this that roareth thus?
    Can it be a Motor Bus?
    Yes, the smell and hideous hum
    Indicat Motorem Bum ...
    Domine, defende nos Contra hos Motores Bos!
    Alfred Godley (1856–1925)

    There comes a pause, for human strength
    Will not endure to dance without cessation;
    And everyone must reach the point at length
    Of absolute prostration.
