Famous quotes containing the words eagle and/or holding:
“You will see Coleridge—he who sits obscure
In the exceeding lustre and the pure
Intense irradiation of a mind,
Which, with its own internal lightning blind,
Flags wearily through darkness and despair—
A cloud-encircled meteor of the air,
A hooded eagle among blinking owls.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“I love a gay and sociable wisdom, and shun harshness and austerity in behaviour, holding every surly countenance suspect.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
