Famous quotes containing the words frank and/or muir:

    They robbed the Danville train.
    And the people they did say, for many miles away,
    ‘Twas the outlaws Frank and Jesse James.
    Unknown. Jesse James (l. 6–8)

    They do not live in the world,
    Are not in time and space.
    From birth to death hurled
    No word do they have, not one
    To plant a foot upon,
    Were never in any place.
    —Edwin Muir (1887–1959)
