lowland quotes

  • Ye Highlands and ye Lawlands, O where hae ye been? They hae slain the Earl of Murray And laid him on the green.

    -Ballads
    'The Bonnie Earl of Murray', stanza1.

  • In a coign of the cliff between lowland and highland, At the sea-down's edge between windward and lee, Walled round with rocks as an inland island, The ghost of a garden fronts the sea.

    - Algernon Charles Swinburne
      Poems and Ballads (2nd edn),'A Forsaken Garden'.
