Whittier

Famous quotes containing the word whittier:

“Through this broad street, restless ever,
Ebbs and flows a human tide,
Wave on wave a living river;
Wealth and fashion side by side;
Toiler, idler, slave and master, in the same quick current glide.”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

She sees the poor pretension,
The wants, the aims, the follies, born
Of fashion and convention!”

““Who touches a hair of yon gray head
Dies like a dog! March on!” he said”
