Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find,
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind. — Ray Charles · 1960I went into the neighborhood in that State in which I was raised, where my mother and only sister were buried, and from which I had been absent about fifteen years. That part of the country is, within itself, as unpoetical as any spot of the earth; but still, seeing it and its objects and inhabitants aroused feelings in me which were certainly poetry; though whether my expression of those feelings is poetry is quite another question. — Abraham Lincoln · 1846Georgia1 quote
