Shadows

Famous quotes containing the word shadows:

    “And long shall timorous fancy see
    The painted chief, and pointed spear,
    And Reason’s self shall bow the knee
    To shadows and delusions here.”
    —Philip Freneau (1752–1832)

    “If we shadows have offended,
    Think but this, and all is mended,
    That you have but slumbered here
    While these visions did appear.
    And this weak and idle theme,
    No more yielding but a dream,”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “When the hounds of spring are on winter’s traces,
    The mother of months in meadow or plain
    Fills the shadows and windy places
    With lisp of leaves and ripple of rain;”
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)
