Famous quotes containing the words sir and/or wood:
“Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time,
Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.
Or good, or bad,—disfigur’d, or deprav’d,—
All art, is at its resurrection sav’d;
All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n,
Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.”
—Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)
“In the wood he travels glad,
Without better fortune had,
Melancholy without bad.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
