Middle English Creole

Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or english:

    At middle night great cats with silver claws,
    Bodies of shadow and blind eyes like pearls,
    Came up out of the hole, and red-eared hounds
    With long white bodies came out of the air
    Suddenly, and ran at them and harried them.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The English Bible—a book which, if everything else in our language should perish, would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power.
