Famous quotes containing the word china:

    “The roof of England fell
    Great Paris tolled her bell
    And China staunched her milk and wept for bread”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    “Riot in Algeria, in Cyprus, in Alabama;
    Aged in wrong, the empires are declining,
    And China gathers, soundlessly, like evidence.
    What shall I say to the young on such a morning?—
    Mind is the one salvation?—also grammar?—
    No; my little ones lean not toward revolt.”
    —William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)

    “Whether the nymph shall break Diana’s law,
    Or some frail china jarreceive a flaw,
    Or stain her honour, or her new brocade,”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
