Unknown. The Unfaithful Shepherdess

Famous quotes containing the words unknown, unfaithful and/or shepherdess:

    All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Of course, the comic figure in all this is the long-suffering Mr. Wilkes. Mr. Wilkes—who can’t be mentally faithful to his wife and won’t be unfaithful to her technically.
    Sidney Howard (1891–1939)

    Adieu Love, adieu Love, untrue Love,
    —Unknown. The Unfaithful Shepherdess (l. 7)
