Famous quotes containing the words north and/or shore:

    “The North is full of tangled things and texts and aching eyes
    And dead is all the innocence of anger and surprise,
    And Christian killeth Christian in a narrow dusty room,
    And Christian dreadeth Christ that hath a newer face of doom,
    And Christian hateth Mary that God kissed in Galilee,”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    “Wrecked on the lee shore of age.”
    —Sarah Orne Jewett (1849–1909)
