Speech Event

Famous quotes containing the words speech and/or event:

    “On me your voice falls as they say love should,
    Like an enormous yes. My Crescent City
    Is where your speech alone is understood.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “I feared these present years,
    The middle twenties,
    When deftness disappears,
    And each event is
    Freighted with a source-encrusting doubt,
    And turned to drought.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
