Famous quotes containing the words sad, eyed and/or lady:
“It is a sad truth, but we have lost the faculty of giving lovely names to things. Names are everything. I never quarrel with actions. My one quarrel is with words.... The man who could call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one. It is the only thing he is fit for.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“This morning, there flew up the lane
A timid lady-bird to our bird-bath
And eyed her image dolefully as death;”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
“Lord Lovel he stood at his castle gate
A-combing his milk-white steed,
When along came Lady Nancy Bell
A-wishing her lover good speed, speed, speed,”
—Unknown. Lord Lovel (l. 1–4)
