Baron Brooke

Famous quotes containing the words baron and/or brooke:

    Every thing secret degenerates, even the administration of justice; nothing is safe that does not show how it can bear discussion and publicity.

    The comfortable smell of friendly fingers,
    Hair’s fragrance, and the musty reek that lingers
    About dead leaves and last year’s ferns. . . .
