Famous quotes containing the word western:

    “So motionless, she seemed stone dead—just seemed:
    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.”
    —Edwin John Pratt (1882–1964)

    “trying to live in the terrible western world

    here where to love at all’s to be a politician, as to love a poem
    is pretentious,”
    —Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)

    “Westron wind, when will thou blow?
    The small rain down can rain.
    Christ, that my love were in my arms,
    And I in my bed again.”
    —Unknown. Western Wind (l. 1–4)
