Land

Famous quotes containing the word land:

    This blessèd plot, this earth, this realm, this England
    This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings,

    This land of such dear souls, this dear dear land.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    croppers rotting shacks
    with famine, terror, flood, and plague near by;
    where sentiment and hatred still held sway
    and only bitter land was washed away.
    Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)

    And the Holy Land of Ireland,
    And time runs on,” cried she.

    And dance with me in Ireland.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
