Famous quotes containing the words haydon and/or burns:

    One of the surest evidences of an elevated taste is the power of enjoying works of impassioned terrorism, in poetry, and painting. The man who can look at impassioned subjects of terror with a feeling of exultation may be certain he has an elevated taste.
    —Benjamin Haydon (1786–1846)

    To see her is to love her,
    And love but her for ever;
    For Nature made her what she is,
    And never made anither!
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)
