Famous quotes containing the words europe and/or geography:

“What helps it now, that Byron bore,
With haughty scorn which mock’d the smart,
Through Europe to the Aetolian shore
The pageant of his bleeding heart?
That thousands counted every groan,
And Europe made his woe her own?”

“Yet America is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.”
