Shadows

Famous quotes containing the word shadows:

    “Like strange mechanical grotesques,
    Making fantastic arabesques,
    The shadows raced across the blind.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “If we shadows have offended,
    Think but this, and all is mended,
    That you have but slumbered here
    While these visions did appear.
    And this weak and idle theme,
    No more yielding but a dream,”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The painted chief, and pointed spear,
    And Reason’s self shall bow the knee
    To shadows and delusions here.”
