Famous quotes containing the word cleveland:

    I am no Poet here; my pen ‘s the spout,
    Where the rain water of my eyes run out,
    In pity of that name, whose fate wee see

    The Muses are not Mer-maids, though upon
    His death the Ocean might turn Helicon
    —John Cleveland (1613–1658)
