Famous quotes containing the words main and/or stand:
“But oh, not the hills of Habersham,
And oh, not the valleys of Hall
Avail: I am fain for to water the plain.
Downward, the voices of Duty call
Downward, to toil and be mixed with the main,
The dry fields burn, and the mills are to turn,
And a myriad flowers mortally yearn,
And the lordly main from beyond the plain
Calls oer the hills of Habersham,
Calls through the valleys of Hall.”
—Sidney Lanier (18421881)
“You cant stand up against me. You havent got the strength. Youll do as I say. I demand that you give up this man. I demand that you send him away.”
—Muriel Box (b. 1905)
