Unknown. Bonny Barbara Allan

Famous quotes containing the words unknown, bonny and/or allan:

    Life is difficult for those who have the daring to first set out on an unknown road. The avant-garde always has a bad time of it.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    There is nothing on earth more exquisite than a bonny book, with well-placed columns of rich black writing in beautiful borders, and illuminated pictures cunningly inset. But nowadays, instead of looking at books, people read them. A book might as well be one of those orders for bacon and bran.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    By a route obscure and lonely,
    Haunted by ill angels only,
    Where an eidolon, named Night,
    On a black throne reigns upright,
    I have reached these lands but newly
    From an ultimate dim Thule—
    From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
    Out of space—out of time.
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
