Country Churchyard

Famous quotes containing the words country and/or churchyard:

“I can love both fair and brown;
Her whom abundance melts, and her whom want betrays;
Her who loves loneness best, and her who masks and plays;
Her whom the country formed, and whom the town;
Her who believes, and her who tries;
Her who still weeps with spongy eyes;
And her who is dry cork, and never cries.
I can love her, and her, and you and you,
I can love any, so she be not true.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)

“Under bare Ben Bulben’s head
In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
