Famous quotes containing the words west and/or drayton:

    Where there’s more of singing and less of sighing,
    Where there’s more of giving and less of buying,
    And a man makes friends without half trying
    That’s where the West begins.
    Arthur Chapman (1873–1935)

    If he from heaven that filched that living fire
    Condemned by Jove to endless torment be,
    I greatly marvel how you still go free
    That far beyond Prometheus did aspire
    —Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
