Shout

Famous quotes containing the word shout:

“All sailors pause to watch a steamer, and shout in welcome or derision. In one a large Newfoundland dog put his paws on the rail and stood up as high as any of them, and looked as wise. But the skipper, who did not wish to be seen no better employed than a dog, rapped him on the nose and sent him below. Such is human justice!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“he went down
As when a lordly cedar, green with boughs,
Goes down with a great shout upon the hills,
And leaves a lonesome place against the sky.”
—Edwin Markham (1852–1940)

“Men are freest when they are most unconscious of freedom. The shout is a rattling of chains, always was.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
