Shy Younger Men

Famous quotes containing the words shy, younger and/or men:

    The banners flashing through the trees
    Make their blood dance and chain their eyes;
    That bugle-music on the breeze
    Arrests them with a charm’d surprise.
    Banner by turns and bugle woo:
    Ye shy recluses, follow too!
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    I know not what the younger dreams—
    Some vague Utopia—and she seems,
    When withered old and skeleton-gaunt,
    An image of such politics.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    While old men feel sensibly enough their own advance in years, they do not sufficiently recollect it in those whom they have seen young.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
