Famous quotes containing the words loch and/or awe:
“Oh, many a day have I made good ale in the glen,
That came not of stream, or malt, like the brewing of men;
My bed was the ground, my roof the greenwood above,
And the wealth that I sought, one far kind glance from my love.”
—Unknown. The Outlaw of Loch Lene (l. 1–4)
“The awe and dread with which the untutored savage contemplates his mother-in-law are amongst the most familiar facts of anthropology.”
—Sir James George Frazer (1854–1941)
