Famous quotes containing the words white, island and/or shores:
“A decent chap, a real good sort,
Straight as a die, one of the best,
A brick, a trump, a proper sport,
Head and shoulders above the rest;
How many lives would have been duller
Had he not been here below?
Heres to the whitest man I know
Though white is not my favourite colour.”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
“Our island home
Is far beyond the wave;we will no longer roam.”
—Alfred Tennyson (18091892)
“Not to these shores she came! this other Thrace,
Environ barbarous to the royal Attic;
How could her delicate dirge run democratic,
Delivered in a cloudless boundless public place
To an inordinate race?”
—John Crowe Ransom (18881974)
