Famous quotes containing the word ruddy:
“Now hardly here and there an hackney coach
Appearing, showed the ruddy morns approach.
Now Betty from her masters bed had flown,
And softly stole to discompose her own;
The slipshod prentice from his masters door
Had pared the dirt, and sprinkled round the floor.”
—Jonathan Swift (16671745)
“Without, the frost, the blinding snow,
The storm-winds moody madness
Within, the firelights ruddy glow,
And childhoods nest of gladness.
The magic words shall hold thee fast:
Thou shalt not heed the raving blast.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
“The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast. Its fit hour of activity is night. Its actions are insane like its whole constitution. It persecutes a principle; it would whip a right; it would tar and feather justice, by inflicting fire and outrage upon the houses and persons of those who have these. It resembles the prank of boys, who run with fire-engines to put out the ruddy aurora streaming to the stars.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
