Love Shy

Famous quotes containing the words love and/or shy:

    I like a church; I like a cowl;
    I love a prophet of the soul;
    And on my heart monastic aisles
    Fall like sweet strains, or pensive smiles;
    Yet not for all his faith can see
    Would I that cowled churchman be.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The banners flashing through the trees
    Make their blood dance and chain their eyes;
    That bugle-music on the breeze
    Arrests them with a charm’d surprise.
    Banner by turns and bugle woo:
    Ye shy recluses, follow too!
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
