Sat/history

Famous quotes containing the words sat and/or history:

    The poor soul sat sighing by a sycamore tree,
    Sing all a green willow;
    Her hand on her bosom, her head on her knee,
    Sing willow, willow, willow.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
