Famous quotes containing the words heather and/or mckay:

    Yet know I how the heather looks
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    The pavement slabs burn loose beneath my feet,
    A chafing savage, down the decent street;
    And passion rends my vitals as I pass,
    Where boldly shines your shuttered door of glass.
    —Claude McKay (1889–1948)
