Unknown. Waly

Famous quotes containing the words unknown and/or waly:

    All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    And oh! if my young babe were born,
    And set upon the nurse’s knee,
    And I my self were dead and gone
    For a maid again I’ll never be.
    —Unknown. Waly, Waly (l. 37–40)
