Country Squire

Famous quotes containing the words country and/or squire:

“The country is laid out in a haphazard, sloppy fashion, offensive to the tidy, organized mind.”

“There now are no Squire Westerns as of old;
And our Sophias are not so emphatic,
But fair as then, or fairer to behold.
We have no accomplish’d blackguards, like Tom Jones,
But gentlemen in stays, as stiff as stones.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
