Gordon Claimed

Famous quotes containing the words gordon and/or claimed:

    There was a sound of revelry by night,
    And Belgium’s capital had gathered then
    Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright
    The lamps shone o’er fair women and brave men;
    A thousand hearts beat happily; and when
    Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
    Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,
    And all went merry as a marriage-bell;
    But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell!
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    To be claimed as good, though in an improper style, is at least better than being rejected as no good at all.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)
