Famous quotes containing the word hugh:

    There one that ruffled in a manly pose
    For all his timid heart, there that slow man,
    That meditative man, John Synge, and those
    Impetuous men, Shawe-Taylor and Hugh Lane,
    Found pride established in humility,
    A scene well set and excellent company.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
