White Horse Hill

Famous quotes containing the words white, horse and/or hill:

    The whole white world is ours.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    But when his horse had put its hoof
    Into a rabbit hole
    He dropped upon his head and died.
    His lady saw it all
    And dropped and died thereon, for she
    Loved him with her soul.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The longer a woman remains single, the more apprehensive she will be of entering into the state of wedlock. At seventeen or eighteen, a girl will plunge into it, sometimes without either fear or wit; at twenty, she will begin to think; at twenty-four, will weigh and discriminate; at twenty-eight, will be afraid of venturing; at thirty, will turn about, and look down the hill she has ascended, and sometimes rejoice, sometimes repent, that she has gained that summit sola.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
