Rogers/places

Famous quotes containing the words rogers and/or places:

    Mine be a cot beside the hill;
    A bee-hive’s hum shall soothe my ear;
    A willowy brook, that turns a mill,
    With many a fall shall linger near.
    —Samuel Rogers (1763–1855)

    People who live in quiet, remote places are apt to give good dinners. They are the oft-recurring excitement of an otherwise unemotional, dull existence. They linger, each of these dinners, in our palimpsest memories, each recorded clearly, so that it does not blot out the others.
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
