Famous quotes containing the words west and/or drayton:

    Faithfulness to the past can be a kind of death above ground. Writing of the past is a resurrection; the past then lives in your words and you are free.
    —Jessamyn West (1902–1984)

    But you broke into heaven’s immortal store,
    Where virtue, honor, wit, and beauty lay;
    Which taking thence you have escaped away,
    Yet stand as free as ere you did before;
    —Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
