Famous quotes containing the words lonely and/or shepherd:

A robber’d like the look of,—
Wooden barred,
And windows hanging low,”

“The metaphor of the king as the shepherd of his people goes back to ancient Egypt. Perhaps the use of this particular convention is due to the fact that, being stupid, affectionate, gregarious, and easily stampeded, the societies formed by sheep are most like human ones.”
