Famous quotes containing the words southern and/or china:
“If the study of his images
Is the study of man, this image of Saturday,
This Italian symbol, this Southern landscape, is like
A waking, as in images we awake,
Within the very object that we seek,
Participants of its being.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The roof of England fell
Great Paris tolled her bell
And China staunched her milk and wept for bread”
