Famous quotes containing the words viscount and/or portal:

    “That is no use at all. What I want is men who will support me when I am in the wrong.”
    —William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)

    “Some sepulcher, remote, alone,
    Against whose portal she hath thrown,
    In childhood, many an idle stone—
    Some tomb from out whose sounding door
    She ne’er shall force an echo more,
    Thrilling to think, poor child of sin!
    It was the dead who groaned within.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
