Famous quotes containing the words west and/or jerusalem:

    We joined long wagon trains moving south; we met hundreds of wagons going north; the roads east and west were crawling lines of families traveling under canvas, looking for work, for another foothold somewhere on the land.... The country was ruined, the whole world was ruined; nothing like this had ever happened before. There was no hope, but everyone felt the courage of despair.
    Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)

    And was Jerusalem builded here,
    Among these dark Satanic Mills?
    William Blake (1757–1827)
