Dunfermline and West Fife By-election

Famous quotes containing the words west and/or fife:

    “O native country, repossessed by thee!
    For, rather than I’ll to the West return,
    I’ll beg of thee first here to have mine urn.
    Weak I am grown, and must in short time fall;
    Give thou my sacred relics burial.”
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    “‘Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly,
    Play the Dead March as you carry me along;
    Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod o’er me,
    For I’m a young cowboy and I know I’ve done wrong.”
    —Unknown. As I Walked Out in the Streets of Laredo (l. 5–8)
