Famous quotes containing the words eastern and/or division:
“And not by eastern windows only,
When daylight comes, comes in the light;
In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly!
But westward, look, the land is bright!”

“O, if you raise this house against this house
It will the woefullest division prove
That ever fell upon this cursed earth.”
