Porch/britain

Famous quotes containing the words porch and/or britain:

“I press not to the quire, nor dare I greet
The holy place with my unhallowed feet;
My unwashed Muse pollutes not things divine,
Nor mingles her profaner notes with thine;
Here humbly at the porch she listening stays,
And with glad ears sucks in thy sacred lays.”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)

“I’ll stay until I’m tired of it. So long as Britain needs me, I shall never be tired of it.”
