Sidney Hollander

Famous quotes containing the words sidney and/or hollander:

    In vain thou kindlest all thy smoky fire,
    For virtue hath this better lesson taught,
    Within myself to seek my only hire,
    Desiring nought but how to kill desire.

    Though shoulder, bosom, lip, and knee
    Are praised in every kind of art,
    Here is love’s true anatomy:
    His rib is gone; he’ll have her heart.
