Famous quotes containing the words sable and/or behaviour:
“Underneath this sable hearse
Lies the subject of all verse:
Sidneys sister, Pembrokes mother;
Death ere thou has slain another,
Fair, and learned, and good as she,
Time shall throw a dart at thee.”
—William Browne (15911643)
“I look on it as no trifling effort of female strength to withstand the artful and ardent solicitations of a man that is thoroughly master of our hearts. Should we in the conflict come off victorious, it hardly pays us for the pain we suffer from the experiment ... and I still persist in it that such a behaviour in any man I love would rob me of that most pleasing thought, namely, the obligation I have to him for not making such a trial.”
—Sarah Fielding (17101768)
