Famous quotes containing the words barons and/or cowley:

    “We live by our imaginations, by our admirations, by our sentiments. The child walks amid heaps of illusions, which he does not like to have disturbed. The boy, how sweet to him his fancy! how dear the story of barons and battles! What a hero he is, whilst he feeds on his heroes! What a debt is his to imaginative books!”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Ah wretched We, Poets of Earth! but Thou
    Wert Living the same Poet which thou’rt Now,
    Whilst Angels sing to thee their ayres divine,
    And joy in an applause so great as thine.
    Equal society with them to hold,
    Thou need’st not make new Songs, but say the Old.”
    —Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
