Stirling Named

Famous quotes containing the words stirling and/or named:

    Oh, if thy pride did not our joys control,
    What world of loving wonders shouldst thou see!

    Then in thy bosom I would pour my soul;

    Hast thou named all the birds without a gun?
    Loved the wood rose, and left it on its stalk?

    Unarmed, faced danger with a heart of trust?
