Whitman County

Famous quotes containing the words whitman and/or county:

“With the holders holding my hand nearing the call of the bird,
Comrades mine and I in the midst, and their memory ever to keep, for the dead I loved so well,
For the sweetest, wisest soul of all my days and
lands—and this for his dear sake,
Lilac and star and bird twined with the chant of my soul,
There in the fragrant pines and the cedars dusk and dim.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“In the county there are thirty-seven churches
and no butcher shop. This could be taken
as a matter of all form and no content.”
