Arnold

Famous quotes containing the word arnold:

    One has often wondered whether upon the whole earth there is anything so unintelligent, so unapt to perceive how the world is really going, as an ordinary young Englishman of our upper class.
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    So much unlearnt, so much resign’d—
    I come not here to be your foe!
    I seek these anchorites, not in ruth,
    To curse and to deny your truth;
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    Unbreachable the fort
    Of the long-batter’d world uplifts its wall;
    And strange and vain the earthly turmoil grows,
    And near and real the charm of thy repose,
    And night as welcome as a friend would fall.
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
