Bay Terrace

Famous quotes containing the words bay and/or terrace:

“A great work by an Englishman is like a great battle won by England. It is an unfading bay tree.”

“A tree that can fill the span of a man’s arms
Grows from a downy tip;
A terrace nine stories high
Rises from hodfuls of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles
Starts from beneath one’s feet.”
