South Ledge

Famous quotes containing the words south and/or ledge:

“There are two places in the world where men can most effectively disappear—the city of London and the South Seas.”

“Summer involves going down as a steep flight of steps
To a narrow ledge over the water. Is this it, then,
This iron comfort, these reasonable taboos,
Or did you mean it when you stopped? And the face
Resembles yours, the one reflected in the water.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
