Famous quotes containing the words west and/or shore:

    “Out where the handclasp’s a little stronger,
    Out where the smile dwells a little longer,
    That’s where the West begins.”
    —Arthur Chapman (1873–1935)

    “Then you arrived, meditative, ironic,
    richly human; and your presence was shore where I rested
    released from the hoodoo of that dance, where I spoke
    with my true voice again.”
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
