Middle English Creole

Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or english:

    “Of all the barbarous middle ages, that
    Which is most barbarous is the middle age
    Of man! it is—I really scarce know what;
    But when we hover between fool and sage,
    And don’t know justly what we would be at—
    A period something like a printed page,
    Black letter upon foolscap, while our hair
    Grows grizzled, and we are not what we were.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “As I learn from you,
    I guess you learn from me—
    although you’re older—and white—
    and somewhat more free.

    This is my page for English B.”
    —Langston Hughes (1902–1967)
