Famous quotes containing the words walter raleigh, sir walter, sir, walter and/or raleigh:

    But could youth last, and love still breed,
    Had joys no date, nor age no need,
    Then these delights my mind might move
    To live with thee and be thy Love.
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)

    If all the world and love were young,
    And truth in every shepherd’s tongue,
    These pretty pleasures might me move
    To live with thee and be thy Love.
    Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)

    ‘Tirra Tirra,’ by the river
    Sang Sir Lancelot.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    Right now he’s suffering the cruelest tortures the Germans can devise. But he won’t talk—not as long as he can stand that punishment. And no human body can stand it too long—not even this wonderful, tough guy from Minnesota.
    John Monks, Jr., U.S. screenwriter, Sy Bartlett, and Henry Hathaway. Gibson (Frank Lattimore? Walter Abel? Melville Cooper?)

    I have loved her all my youth,
    But now old, as you see;
    Love likes not the falling fruit
    From the withered tree.
    Know that love is a careless child
    And forgets promise past;
    He is blind, he is deaf when he list
    And in faith never fast.
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)
