Famous quotes containing the word western:
“O western orb sailing the heaven,
Now I know what you must have meant as a month since I walked,
As I walked in silence the transparent shadowy night,”

“But go, and if you listen she will call,
Go to the western gate, Luke Havergal—
Luke Havergal.”

She was too old for death, too old for life,
For as if jealous of all living forms
She had lain there before bivalves began
To catacomb their shells on western mountains.”
