Street Pattern

Famous quotes containing the words street and/or pattern:

    “What are you now? If we could touch one another,
    if these our separate entities could come to grips,
    clenched like a Chinese puzzle . . . yesterday
    I stood in a crowded street that was live with people,
    and no one spoke a word, and the morning shone.
    Everyone silent, moving. . . . Take my hand. Speak to me.”
    —Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    “For what is wedlock forcèd, but a hell,
    An age of discord and continual strife?
    Whereas the contrary bringeth bliss,
    And is a pattern of celestial peace.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
