Famous quotes containing the words west and/or drayton:

    In their sympathies, children feel nearer animals than adults. They frolic with animals, caress them, share with them feelings neither has words for. Have they ever stroked any adult with the love they bestow on a cat? Hugged any grownup with the ecstasy they feel when clasping a puppy?
    —Jessamyn West (1907–1984)

    Now if thou wouldst, when all have given him over,
    From death to life thou mightst him yet recover.
    —Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
