Heard

Famous quotes containing the word heard:

“When I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say,
“Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies,
But keep your fancy free.”
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)

“Above the bayonets, mixed and crossed,
Men saw a gray, gigantic ghost
Receding through the battle cloud,
And heard across the tempest loud
The death cry of a nation lost!”
—Will Henry Thompson (1848–1918)

“For Nym, he hath heard that men of few words are the best men,
and therefore he scorns to say his prayers, lest ‘a should be
thought a coward.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
