Fortified Manor House

Famous quotes containing the words fortified and/or house:

    Our rural village life was a purifying, uplifting influence that fortified us against the later impacts of urbanization; Church and State, because they were separated and friendly, had spiritual and ethical standards that were mutually enriching; freedom and discipline, individualism and collectivity, nature and nurture in their interaction promised an ever stronger democracy. I have no illusions that those simpler, happier days can be resurrected.
    Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)

    Turn back. Turn, young lady dear
    A murderer’s house you enter here
    I was wooed and won little bird
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
