Famous quotes containing the words west, germany and/or summer:
“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)
“It is the emotions to which one objects in Germany most of all.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“‘Twas a balmy summer evening, and a goodly crowd was there.
Which well-nigh filled Joe’s barroom on the corner of the square,”
—Hugh Antoine D’Arcy (1843–1925)
