Sherwood

Famous quotes containing the word sherwood:

    Time should be imaged with a paint-brush instead of a scythe; he knows how to wield the former even better than the latter.
    —M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    The poor are always ragged and dirty, in very picturesque clothes, and on their poor shoes lies the earth of the Lacustrine period. And yet what a privilege it is to be even a beggar in Rome!
    —M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    If there is anything so romantic as that castle-palace-fortress of Monaco I have not seen it. If there is anything more delicious than the lovely terraces and villas of Monte Carlo I do not wish to see them. There is nothing beyond the semi-tropical vegetation, the projecting promontories into the Mediterranean, the all-embracing sweep of the ocean, the olive groves, and the enchanting climate! One gets tired of the word beautiful.
    —M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
