Sheridan Learns

Famous quotes containing the words sheridan and/or learns:

    Nay, but Jack, such eyes! such eyes! so innocently wild! so bashfully irresolute! Not a glance but speaks and kindles some thought of love! Then, Jack, her cheeks! her cheeks, Jack! so deeply blushing at the insinuations of her tell-tale eyes! Then, Jack, her lips! O, Jack, lips smiling at their own discretion! and, if not smiling, more sweetly pouting—more lovely in sullenness! Then, Jack, her neck! O, Jack, Jack!
    —Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)

    a man sleeps where fire leapt down and she learns through his arm
    That other sun, the jealous coursing of the unrivalled blood.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
