Romantic Lyric

Famous quotes containing the words romantic and/or lyric:

“When young people are too rigidly sequestered from [the world], their lively and romantic imaginations paint it to them as a paradise of which they have been beguiled; but when they are shown it properly, and in due time, they see it such as it really is, equally shared by pain and pleasure, hope and disappointment.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)

“O lyric Love, half angel and half bird
And all a wonder and a wild desire.”
