Fielding Side

Famous quotes containing the words fielding and/or side:

    Essay writing is perhaps ... the easiest for the author and requires little more than what is called a fluency of words and a vivacity of expression to avoid dullness; but without ... a real foundation of matter ... an essay writer is very apt, like Dogberry in Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, to think that if he had the tediousness of a king, he would bestow it all upon his readers.
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake;
    And when you think he’s half asleep, he’s always wide awake.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
