South Baton Rouge

Famous quotes containing the words south and/or rouge:

“The South is very beautiful but its beauty makes one sad because the lives that people live here, and have lived here, are so ugly.”

“With the old kindness, the old distinguished grace,
She lies, her lovely piteous head amid dull red hair
Propped upon pillows, rouge on the pallor of her face.
She would not have us sad because she is lying there,
And when she meets our gaze her eyes are laughter-lit,
Her speech a wicked tale that we may vie with her....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
