Famous quotes containing the words baron and/or taylor:

    “People sometimes tell me that they prefer barbarism to civilisation. I doubt if they have given it a long enough trial. Like the people of Alexandria, they are bored by civilisation; but all the evidence suggests that the boredom of barbarism is infinitely greater.”
    —Kenneth MacKenzie Clark, Baron of Saltwood (1903–1983)

    “Once at thy Feast, I saw thee Pearle-like stand
    ‘Tween Heaven and Earth, where Heavens Bright glory all
    In streams fell on thee, as a floodgate and
    Like Sun Beams through thee on the World to Fall.
    Oh! Sugar sweet then! My Deare sweet Lord, I see
    Saints Heaven-lost Happiness restor’d by thee.”
    —Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
