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;

    Arrests them with a charm’d surprise.

    Ye shy recluses, follow too!
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    “After my flame lacks oil, to be the snuff
    Of younger spirits, whose apprehensive senses
    All but new things disdain.”

    —These are men whose minds the Dead have ravished
    Memory fingers in their hair of murders,
    Multitudinous murders they once witnessed.
