Native Names

Famous quotes containing the words native and/or names:

“Yet, Saxham, thou within thy gate
Art of thyself so delicate,
So full of native sweets that bless
Thy roof with inward happiness,
As neither from nor to thy store
Winter takes aught, or spring adds more.”

“Row after row with strict impunity
The headstones yield their names to the element,
The wind whirrs without recollection....”
