Famous quotes containing the word shepherd:
“When icicles hang by the wall,
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail,
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
And milk comes frozen home in pail;
When blood is nipped, and ways be foul,
Then nightly sings the staring owl:
Tu-whit, tu-whoo!
A merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)

—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 25:32,33.
“The shepherd is the brain behind the dogs brain,
But his control of dog, like dogs of sheep
Is never absolutethats the beauty of it.”
—Cecil Day Lewis (19041972)
