Fair Haven

Famous quotes containing the words fair and/or haven:

    “The reivers they stole Fair Annie,
    As she walked by the sea;
    But a noble knight was her ransom soon,
    Wi’ gowd and white monie.”
    —Unknown. Fair Annie (l. 1–4)

    “Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
    —Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
