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)

    “To lib and die in Dixie!
    Away, away, away down South in Dixie!”
    —Daniel Decatur Emmett (1815–1904)

    “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)
