Famous quotes containing the words west and/or earl:
“O native country, repossessed by thee!
For, rather than I’ll to the West return,
I’ll beg of thee first here to have mine urn.
Weak I am grown, and must in short time fall;
Give thou my sacred relics burial.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
“Harriet Tubman,
woman of earth, whipscarred,
a summoning, a shinning”
