Sir Philip Sidney

Famous quotes containing the words sir philip, sir and/or sidney:

“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)

“Sir Francis, Sir Francis, Sir Francis is come;”

“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)
