Walker Began

Famous quotes containing the words walker and/or began:

    All you violated ones with gentle hearts;
    You violent dreamers whose cries shout heartbreak;
    —Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)

    He began therefore to invest the fortress of my heart by a circumvallation of distant bows and respectful looks; he then entrenched his forces in the deep caution of never uttering an unguarded word or syllable. His designs being yet covered, he played off from several quarters a large battery of compliments. But here he found a repulse from the enemy by an absolute rejection of such fulsome praise, and this forced him back again close into his former trenches.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
