Famous quotes containing the words hampshire and/or county:

    “The New Hampshire girls who came to Lowell were descendants of the sturdy backwoodsmen who settled that State scarcely a hundred years before.... They were earnest and capable; ready to undertake anything that was worth doing. My dreamy, indolent nature was shamed into activity among them. They gave me a larger, firmer ideal of womanhood.”
    —Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)

    “In the county there are thirty-seven churches
    and no butcher shop. This could be taken
    as a matter of all form and no content.”
    —Maxine Kumin (b. 1925)
