Famous quotes containing the words east and/or riding:

    “We have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken. Maugre all the selfishness that chills like east winds the world, the whole human family is bathed with an element of love like a fine ether.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Oh he
    Comes designed to my love to steal not her tide raking
    Wound, nor her riding high, nor her eyes, nor kindled hair,
    But her faith....”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
