South Main Street

Famous quotes containing the words main street, south, main and/or street:

    “Main Street was never the same. I read Gide and tried to
    translate Proust. Now nothing is real except French wine.
    For absurdity is reality, my loneliness unreal, my mind tired.
    And I shall die an old Parisian.”
    —Conrad Kent Rivers (1933–1968)

    “The white gulls south of Victoria
    catch tossed crumbs in midair.
    When anyone hears the Catbird
    he gets lonesome.”
    —Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    “Of all wit’s uses, the main one
    Is to live well with who has none.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “You had such a vision of the street
    As the street hardly understands;
    Sitting along the bed’s edge, where
    You curled the papers from your hair,
    Or clasped the yellow soles of feet
    In the palms of both soiled hands.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
