English Shepherds

Famous quotes containing the words english and/or shepherds:

    “The English language is nobody’s special property. It is the property of the imagination: it is the property of the language itself.”
    —Derek Walcott (b. 1930)

    “Come live with me and be my Love,
    And we will all the pleasures prove
    That hills and valleys, dales and fields,
    Or woods or steepy mountain yields.

    And we will sit upon the rocks,
    And see the shepherds feed their flocks
    By shallow rivers, to whose falls
    Melodious birds sing madrigals.”
    —Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
