Shore Chevy Show

Famous quotes containing the words shore, chevy and/or show:

    We saw by the flitting clouds, by the first russet tinge on the hills, by the rushing river, the cottages on shore, and the shore itself, so coolly fresh and shining with dew, and later in the day, by the hue of the grape-vine, the goldfinch on the willow, the flickers flying in flocks, and when we passed near enough to the shore, as we fancied, by the faces of men, that the fall had commenced.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The hounds ran swiftly through the woods
    The nimble deere to take,
    That with their cryes the hills and dales
    An eccho shrill did make.
    —Unknown. Chevy Chase (l. 37–40)

    I had rather see the portrait of a dog that I know, than all the allegorical paintings they can show me in the world.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
