Fielding Play

Famous quotes containing the words fielding and/or play:

    Agreeable then to my present inclination, I formed the object of my own worship, which was no other than my own understanding.
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    Love sits enthroned in Clara’s eyes,
    The Graces play her lips around,
    And in her cheeks the tendrest dyes
    Of lilly mixed with rose are found.
    Where charms so irresistless throng
    What mortal heart can try resistance?
    But ah! her nose is two feet long,
    And bids our passions keep their distance.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
