Poison Gas

Famous quotes containing the words poison and/or gas:

    You know the worst: your wills are fickle,
    Your values blurred, your hearts impure
    And your past life a ruined church—
    But let your poison be your cure.
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    Droning a drowsy syncopated tune,
    Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon,
    I heard a Negro play.

    Down on Lenox Avenue the other night
    By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light
    Langston Hughes (1902–1967)
