Shepton Mallet Rural

Famous quotes containing the words mallet and/or rural:

    But the ball is lost and the mallet slipped long since from the hands
    Under the running tap that are not the hands of a child.

    What life is best?
    Courts are but only superficial schools
    To dandle fools:
    The rural parts are turned into a den
    Of savage men:
    And where ‘s a city from all vice so free,
    But may be termed the worst of all the three?
    Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
