Whittier Union High

Famous quotes containing the words whittier, union and/or high:

    They tell me, Lucy, thou art dead,
    That all of thee we loved and cherished

    And left, as its young beauty fled,
    An ashen memory in its stead.
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    The old ideals are dead as nails—nothing there. It seems to me there remains only this perfect union with a woman—sort of ultimate marriage—and there isn’t anything else.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    I hate that which we have decided to call realism, even though I have been made one of its high priests.
