Sir Mortimer Durand

Famous quotes containing the words sir and/or mortimer:

    Over Sir John’s hill,
    The hawk on fire hangs still;
    In a hoisted cloud, at drop of dusk, he pulls to his claws
    And gallows, up the rays of his eyes the small birds of the bay....
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    When you get to my age life seems little more than one long march to and from the lavatory.
    —John Mortimer (b. 1923)
