Lands

Famous quotes containing the word lands:

    Israel, and you who call yourself Israel, the Church that calls itself Israel, and the revolt that calls itself Israel, and every nation chosen to be a nation—none of these lands is yours, all of you are thieves of holiness, all of you at war with Mercy.
    Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)

    There dwelt a man in faire Westmerland,
    Jonnë Armestrong men did him call,
    He had nither lands nor rents coming in,
    Yet he kept eight score men in his hall.
    Unknown. Johnie Armstrong (l. 1–4)

    I sat upon the shore
    Fishing, with the arid plain behind me
    Shall I at least set my lands in order?
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
