Middle Earth

Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or earth:

    At middle night great cats with silver claws,
    Bodies of shadow and blind eyes like pearls,
    Came up out of the hole, and red-eared hounds
    With long white bodies came out of the air
    Suddenly, and ran at them and harried them.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Till the war-drum throbbed no longer, and the battle-flags were
    furled
    In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world.
    There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe,
    And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapped in universal law.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
