Rhode Island General

Famous quotes containing the words island and/or general:

“They all came, some wore sentiments
Emblazoned on T-shirts, proclaiming the lateness
Of the hour, and indeed the sun slanted its rays
Through branches of Norfolk Island pine as though
Politely clearing its throat....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“That sort of half sigh, which, accompanied by two or three slight nods of the head, is pity’s small change in general society.”
