Famous quotes containing the word western:

    “In the woods in a winter afternoon one will see as readily the origin of the stained glass window, with which Gothic cathedrals are adorned, in the colors of the western sky seen through the bare and crossing branches of the forest.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
