Famous quotes containing the words promised and/or paradise:
“He promised he’d get me out of this one,
That mean old cartoonist, but just look what he’s
Done to me now! I scarce dare approach me mug’s attenuated
Reflection in yon hubcap, so jaundiced, so déconfit
Are its lineaments....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
