Surrey County

Famous quotes containing the words surrey and/or county:

    But I was trying to tell you about a strange thing
    That happened to me, but this is no way to tell about it,
    By making it truly happen. It drifts away in fragments.
    And one is left sitting in the yard
    To try to write poetry
    Using what Wyatt and Surrey left around....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    It would astonish if not amuse, the older citizens of your County who twelve years ago knew me a stranger, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy, working on a flat boat—at ten dollars per month to learn that I have been put down here as the candidate of pride, wealth, and aristocratic family distinction.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
