Sidney

Famous quotes containing the word sidney:

“Thus, great with child to speak, and helpless in my throes,
Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite:
“Fool,” said my Muse to me, “look in thy heart and write!””
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

“Thou blind man’s mark, thou fool’s self-chosen snare,
Fond Fancy’s scum and dregs of scattered thought,
Band of all evils, cradle of causeless care,
Thou web of will whose end is never wrought;
Desire! desire, I have too dearly bought
With price of mangled mind thy worthless ware;”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

“Well, begone, begone, I say,
Lest that Argus’ eyes perceive you.’
Oh, unjust Fortunes sway,
Which can make me thus to leave you,
And from louts to run away.”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
