Small Relief

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or relief:

    I can hear, underground, that sucking and sobbing,
    In my veins, in my bones I feel it,—
    The small waters seeping upward,
    The tight grains parting at last.
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    [I]t forged ahead to become a full-fledged metropolis, with 143 faro games, 30 saloons, 4 banks, 27 produce stores, 3 express offices—and an arena for bull-and-bear fights, which, described by Horace Greeley in the New York Tribune, is said to have given Wall Street its best-known phrases.
    —For the State of California, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
