Famous quotes containing the word west:

    “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)
