Western Order

Famous quotes containing the words western and/or order:

    Westron wind, when will thou blow?
    The small rain down can rain.
    Christ, that my love were in my arms,
    And I in my bed again.
    —Unknown. Western Wind (l. 1–4)

    Perchance not he but Nature ailed,
    The world and not the infant failed.
    It was not ripe yet to sustain
    A genius of so fine a strain,
    Who gazed upon the sun and moon
    As if he came unto his own,
    And, pregnant with his grander thought,
    Brought the old order into doubt.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
