Famous quotes containing the words spanish and/or land:

    “Ferdinand De Soto, sleeping
    In the river, never heard
    Four-and-twenty Spanish hooves
    Fling off their iron and cut the green,
    Leaving circles new and clean
    While overhead the wing-tips whirred.”

    Each breeze from foggy mount and marshy plain
    Dilutes with drivel every drizzly brain.”
