West England Franchise

Famous quotes containing the words west, england and/or franchise:

    The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day.
    Now spurs the lated traveller apace
    To gain the timely inn.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I know no more affecting lesson to our busy, plotting New England brains, than to go into one of our factories with which we have lined all the watercourses in the States. A man hardly knows how much he is a machine, until he begins to make telegraph, loom, press, and locomotive, in his own image.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Many famous feet have trod
    Sublunary paths, and famous hands have weighed
    The strength they have against the strength they need;
    And famous lips interrogated God
    Concerning franchise in eternity....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
