Sits

Famous quotes containing the word sits:

“O, he sits high in all the people’s hearts;
And that which would appear offence in us
His countenance, like richest alchemy,
Will change to virtue and to worthiness.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“You will see Coleridge—he who sits obscure
In the exceeding lustre and the pure
Intense irradiation of a mind,
Which, with its own internal lightning blind,
Flags wearily through darkness and despair—
A cloud-encircled meteor of the air,
A hooded eagle among blinking owls.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

“Who riseth from a feast
With that keen appetite that he sits down?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
