Famous quotes containing the words east and/or moor:
“I’ th’ East my pleasure lies.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“who should moor at his edge
And fare on afoot would find gates of no gardens,
But the hill of dark underfoot diving,
Closing overhead, the cold deep, and drowning.
He is called Leviathan, and named for rolling,”
—William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)
