Superior Venus Vanishes

Famous quotes containing the words superior, venus and/or vanishes:

    The First Amendment is not a blanket freedom-of-information act. The constitutional newsgathering freedom means the media can go where the public can, but enjoys no superior right of access.
    George F. Will (b. 1934)

    Gat-toothed was I, and that bicam me weel;
    I hadde the prente of Sainte Venus seel.
    As help me God, I was a lusty oon,
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    The brown waves of fog toss up to me
    Twisted faces from the bottom of the street,
    And tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts
    An aimless smile that hovers in the air
    And vanishes along the level of the roofs.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
