Famous quotes containing the word scenes:
“One reason writers write is out of revenge.

“From scenes like these old Scotias grandeur springs,
That makes her loved at home, revered abroad;
Princes and lords are but the breath of kings,
An honest mans the noblest work of God!”
—Robert Burns (17591796)
“How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood,
When fond recollection presents them to view!
The orchard, the meadow, the deep tangled wildwood,
And every loved spot which my infancy knew,”
