West Germantown Pike

Famous quotes containing the words west and/or pike:

“There are acacias, a graceful species amusingly devitalized by sentimentality, this kind drooping its leaves with the grace of a young widow bowed in controllable grief, this one obscuring them with a smooth silver as of placid tears. They please, like the minor French novelists of the eighteenth century, by suggesting a universe in which nothing cuts deep.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)

“Death had his grudge against me, and he got up in the way, like an
armed robber, with a pike in his hand.”
—Petrarch (1304–1374)
