Sable/behaviour

Famous quotes containing the words sable and/or behaviour:

    The sable presbyters approach
    The avenue of penitence;
    The young are red and pustular
    Clutching piaculative pence.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)
