West Townshend

Famous quotes containing the words west and/or townshend:

    The West of which I speak is but another name for the Wild; and what I have been preparing to say is, that in Wildness is the preservation of the World.

    But neither steele nor stony breast
    Are proof against those lookes of thine,
    Nor can a Beauty lesse divine
    Of any heart be long possest,
    Where thou pretend’st an interest.
