Famous quotes containing the words private and/or void:
“Oh! a private buffoon is a light-hearted loon,
If you listen to popular rumour;
From morning to night hes so joyous and bright,
And he bubbles with wit and good humour!”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (18361911)
“The man Shelley, in very truth, is not entirely sane, and Shelleys poetry is not entirely sane either. The Shelley of actual life is a vision of beauty and radiance, indeed, but availing nothing, effecting nothing. And in poetry, no less than in life, he is a beautiful and ineffectual angel, beating in the void his luminous wings in vain.”
—Matthew Arnold (18221888)
