Sir Gordon

Famous quotes containing the words sir and/or gordon:

    Over Sir John’s hill,
    The hawk on fire hangs still;
    In a hoisted cloud, at drop of dusk, he pulls to his claws
    And gallows, up the rays of his eyes the small birds of the bay....
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    What men call gallantry, and gods adultery,
    Is much more common where the climate’s sultry.
