Eastern Gray

Famous quotes containing the words eastern and/or gray:

    I open with a clock striking, to beget an awful attention in the audience—it also marks the time, which is four o’clock in the morning, and saves a description of the rising sun, and a great deal about gilding the eastern hemisphere.
    Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)

    Far from the madding crowd’s ignoble strife,
    Their sober wishes never learn’d to stray;
    —Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
