Lost Plays

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or plays:

“I sing what was lost and dread what was won,
I walk in a battle fought over again,
My king a lost king, and lost soldiers my men....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“[Allegory] should ... be very sparingly practised, lest, whilst the writer plays with his own fancies and diverts himself by cutting the air with his wide spread wings, he should soar out of view of his readers, leaving them in confusion and perplexity to explore his viewless track.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
