Edward Southwell Russell

Famous quotes containing the words edward, southwell and/or russell:

    The night was thick and hazy
    When the “Piccadilly Daisy”
    Carried down the crew and captain in the sea;
    And I think the water downed ‘em;
    For they never, never found ‘em,
    And I know they didn’t come ashore with me.
    —Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)

    As in hoary winter’s night stood shivering in the snow,
    Surprised I was with sudden heat which made my heart to glow;
    And lifting up a fearful eye to view what fire was near,
    A pretty Babe all burning bright did in the air appear;
    —Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)

    There is no good in arguing with the inevitable. The only argument available with an east wind is to put on your overcoat.
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
