1st Baron Rootes

Famous quotes containing the words baron and/or rootes:

    Erle Douglas on his milk-white steede,
    Most like a baron bold,
    Rode foremost of his company,
    Whose armor shone like gold.

    No other man-made device since the shields and lances of the ancient knights fulfills a man’s ego like an automobile.
