Wenlock Olympian

Famous quotes containing the words wenlock and/or olympian:

    On Wenlock Edge the wood’s in trouble;
    His forest fleece the Wrekin heaves;
    The gale, it plies the saplings double,
    And thick on Severn snow the leaves.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    The Olympian gods cannot have grand passions because they cannot die.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
