Famous quotes containing the words metallic and/or pigeon:

    “Foster the labor of our country by an undeviating metallic currency ... always recollecting that if labor is depressed neither commerce nor manufactures can flourish, as they are both based upon the production of labor, produced from the earth, or the mineral world.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “They wait, each like a wooden decoy
    or soft like a pigeon or
    a sweet snug duck:
    until one moves, moves that dart-beak
    breaking over.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
