2nd Baron Fitzgerald and Vesey

Famous quotes containing the words baron and/or fitzgerald:

    People sometimes tell me that they prefer barbarism to civilisation. I doubt if they have given it a long enough trial. Like the people of Alexandria, they are bored by civilisation; but all the evidence suggests that the boredom of barbarism is infinitely greater.
    Kenneth MacKenzie Clark, Baron of Saltwood (1903–1983)

    Innings and afternoons. Fly lost in sunset.
    Throwing arm gone bad. There’s your old ball game.
    Cool reek of the field. Reek of companions.
    —Robert Fitzgerald (1910–1985)
