Heard

Famous quotes containing the word heard:

    I heard the dog-day locust here, and afterward on the carries, a sound which I had associated only with more open, if not settled countries. The area for locusts must be small in the Maine Woods.

    I have heard it said
    There is an art which in their piedness shares
    With great creating nature.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I heard the beat of centaur’s hoofs over the hard turf
    As his dry and passionate talk devoured the afternoon.
    “He is a charming man” “But after all what did he mean?”—
    “His pointed ears. ... He must be unbalanced,”—
    “There was something he said that I might have challenged.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
