Famous quotes containing the words daniel, evans and/or library:

    Beauty, sweet Love, is like the morning dew,
    Whose short refresh upon the tender green
    Cheers for a time, but till the sun doth shew,
    And straight ‘tis gone as it had never been.
    —Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    In journalism it is simpler to sound off than it is to find out. It is more elegant to pontificate than it is to sweat.
    —Harold Evans (b. 1928)

    With sighs more lunar than bronchial,
    Howbeit eluding fallopian diagnosis,
    She simpers into the tribal library and reads
    That Keats died of tuberculosis . . .
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
