Famous quotes containing the word john:

    “And that enquiring man John Synge comes next,
    That dying chose the living world for text
    And never could have rested in the tomb
    But that, long travelling, he had come
    Towards nightfall upon certain set apart
    In a most desolate stony place....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
