Baron Allan of Hallam

Famous quotes containing the words baron and/or allan:

    For age with stealing steps
    Hath clawed me with his crutch,
    Thomas Vaux, 2d Baron Vaux Of Harrowden (1510–1566)

    And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
    On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
    And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,
    And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the
    floor;
    And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
    Shall be lifted—nevermore!
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
