Famous quotes containing the words busy, beaver and/or proof:

    “The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
    With all their lives and cares,
    Are carried downwards by thy flood,
    And lost in following years.

    Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
    Bears all its sons away;
    They fly forgotten, as a dream
    Dies at the opening day.”
    —Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

    “I saw young Harry with his beaver on,
    His cuisses on his thighs, gallantly armed,
    Rise from the ground like feathered Mercury,
    And vaulted with such ease into his seat
    As if an angel dropped down from the clouds
    To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus,
    And witch the world with noble horsemanship.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
