Baron Robertson of Port Ellen

Famous quotes containing the words baron and/or port:

    “Justice should not only be done, but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done.”
    —Gordon, 1st Baron Of Bury Hewart (1870–1943)

    “Through the port comes the moon-shine astray!
    It tips the guard’s cutlass and silvers this nook;
    But ‘twill die in the dawning of Billy’s last day.
    A jewel-block they’ll make of me to-morrow,
    Pendant pearl from the yard-arm-end
    Like the ear-drop I gave to Bristol Molly—
    O, ‘tis me, not the sentence they’ll suspend.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
