Passion Plays

Famous quotes containing the words passion and/or plays:

    With care, and skill, and cunning art,
    She parried Time’s malicious dart,
    And kept the years at bay,
    Till passion entered in her heart
    And aged her in a day!
    Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850–1919)

    [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)
