Arnold

Famous quotes containing the word arnold:

    The working-class ... is now issuing from its hiding-place to assert an Englishman’s heaven-born privilege of doing as he likes, and is beginning to perplex us by marching where it likes, meeting where it likes, bawling what it likes, breaking what it likes.
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    They out-talked thee, hissed thee, tore thee?
    Better men fared thus before thee;
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    But—if you cannot give us ease—
    Last of the race of them who grieve
    Here leave us to die out with these
    Last of the people who believe!
    Silent, while years engrave the brow;
    Silent—the best are silent now.
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
