Famous quotes containing the word muir:

“Barely a twelvemonth after
The seven days war that put the world to sleep,
Late in the evening the strange horses came.”

On the bare field—I wonder why, just now,
They seemed terrible, so wild and strange,
Like magic power on the stony grange.”

Are not in time and space.
From birth to death hurled
No word do they have, not one
To plant a foot upon,
Were never in any place.”
