Famous quotes containing the words louis and/or smith:

    The frost was on the village roofs as white as ocean foam;
    The good red fires were burning bright in every ‘longshore home;
    The windows sparkled clear, and the chimneys volleyed out;
    And I vow we sniffed the victuals as the vessel went about.
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    I have, alas, only one illusion left, and that is the Archbishop of Canterbury.
