Sparks/people

Famous quotes containing the words sparks and/or people:

“On every tree a bucket with a lid,
And on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow.
The sparks made no attempt to be the moon.
They were content to figure in the trees
As Leo, Orion, and the Pleiades.
And that was what the boughs were full of soon.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“The President is the direct representative of the American people ... [and is] elected by the people and responsible to them.”
