Famous quotes containing the word georgina:

    “And sometimes I remember days of old
    When fellowship seemed not so far to seek,
    And all the world and I seemed much less cold,
    And at the rainbow’s foot lay surely gold,
    And hope felt strong, and life itself not weak.”
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
