Famous quotes containing the words cowper and/or court:

    “Variety’s the very spice of life
    That gives it all its flavour.”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)

    “If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can’t go at dawn and not many places he can’t go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking—one sport you shouldn’t have to reserve a time and a court for.”
    —Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
