Famous quotes containing the words hall and/or vote:

    “For a hundred and fifty years, in the pasture of dead horses,
    roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs,
    yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter
    frost heaved your bones in the ground—old toilers, soil makers:
    O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost.”
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)

    “The freeman, casting with unpurchased hand
    The vote that shakes the turrets of the land.”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
