John Shown

Famous quotes containing the words john and/or shown:

    Oh for some honest lover’s ghost,
    Some kind unbodied post
    Sent from the shades below!
    I strangely long to know
    Whether the nobler chaplets wear
    Those that their mistress’ scorn did bear,
    Or those that were used kindly.
    —Sir John Suckling (1609–1642)

    Of late the new “life philosophy” has shown a tendency to relapse into a bewildering confusion of logical and poetical means of expression.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
