Famous quotes containing the words duel and/or spirits:
“The study of beauty is a duel in which the artist cries with terror before being defeated.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“I thought of Chatterton, the marvellous boy,
The sleepless soul that perished in his pride;
Of him who walked in glory and in joy
Following his plough, along the mountain side:
By our own spirits are we deified:
We poets in our youth begin in gladness;
But thereof come in the end despondency and madness.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
