Newton Le Willows

Famous quotes containing the words newton and/or willows:

    The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

    There, beyond the dykes

    I heard wind flaking sapphire, like this summer,
    And willows could not hold more steady sound.
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)
