Famous quotes containing the words clare and/or college:

“In the cowslips peeps I lie,
Hidden from the buzzing fly,
While green grass beneath me lies,
Pearled wi’ dew like fishes’ eyes,
Here I lye, a clock-a-clay,
Waiting for the time o’ day.”
—John Clare (1793–1864)

“I had a classmate who fitted for college by the lamps of a lighthouse, which was more light, we think, than the University afforded.”
