Spartan South Midlands

Famous quotes containing the words spartan, south and/or midlands:

    “My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind,
    So flewed, so sanded; and their heads are hung
    With ears that sweep away the morning dew;
    Crook-kneed, and dewlapped like Thessalian bulls;
    Slow in pursuit, but matched in mouth like bells,
    Each under each.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “... while the South is hardly Christ-centered, it is most certainly Christ-haunted.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

    “Sunday night meant, in the dark, wintry, rainy Midlands ... anywhere where two creatures might stand and squeeze together and spoon.... Spooning was a fine art, whereas kissing and cuddling are calf-processes.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
