Bristol England

Famous quotes containing the words bristol and/or england:

    Through the port comes the moon-shine astray!
    It tips the guard’s cutlass and silvers this nook;
    But ‘twill die in the dawning of Billy’s last day.
    A jewel-block they’ll make of me to-morrow,
    Pendant pearl from the yard-arm-end
    Like the ear-drop I gave to Bristol Molly—
    O, ‘tis me, not the sentence they’ll suspend.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    The New England conscience ... does not stop you from doing what you shouldn’t—it just stops you from enjoying it.
    Cleveland Amory (b. 1917)
