Glen Shields Sun

Famous quotes containing the words shields and/or sun:

“If one doubts whether Grecian valor and patriotism are not a fiction of the poets, he may go to Athens and see still upon the walls of the temple of Minerva the circular marks made by the shields taken from the enemy in the Persian war, which were suspended there. We have not far to seek for living and unquestionable evidence. The very dust takes shape and confirms some story which we had read.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home;
‘Tis summer, the darkeys are gay;
The corn-top’s ripe, and the meadow’s in the bloom,”
—Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1884)
