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)

    Old Abe is much better looking than I expected & younger looking. He shook hands like a good fellow—working hard at it like a man sawing wood at so much per cord.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    For out of olde feldes, as men seith,
    Cometh al this new corn fro yeer to yere;
    And out of olde bokes, in good feith,
    Cometh al this newe science that men lere.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340–1400)
