Hayes and Orton Halls

Famous quotes containing the words hayes, orton and/or halls:

    I marched in with the men afoot; a gallant show they made as they marched up High Street to the depot. Lucy and Mother Webb remained several hours until we left. I saw them watching me as I stood on the platform at the rear of the last car as long as they could see me. Their eyes swam. I kept my emotion under control enough not to melt into tears.
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    You were born with your legs apart. They’ll send you to the grave in a Y-shaped coffin.
    —Joe Orton (1933–1967)

    The good grey guardians of art
    Patrol the halls on spongy shoes,
    Impartially protective, though
    Perhaps suspicious of Toulouse.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
