Saint George and the Dragon!-Bonny Saint George for Merry England!-The castle is won!

Independently of the curious c...

Independently of the curious circumstance that such tales should be found existing in very different countries and languages, which augurs a greater poverty of human invention than we would have expected, there is also a sort of wild fairy interest in them, which makes me think them fully better adapted to awaken the imagination and soften the heart of childhood than the good-boy stories which have been in later years composed for them.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

O Caledonia! stern and wild, M...

O Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child! Land of brown heath and shaggy wood; Land of the mountain and the flood!

Who o'er the herd would wish to reign, Fantastic, fickle, fierce, and vain! Vain as the leaf upon the stream, And fickle as a changeful dream; Fantastic as a woman's mood, And fierce as Frenzy's fever'd blood. Thou many-headed monster thing, Oh who would wish to be thy king!

So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war, There never was knight like young Lochinvar.

He turn'd his charger as he spake, Upon the river shore, He gave his bridle reins a shake, Said, 'Adieu for evermore, my love, And adieu for evermore.'

A glass of good wine is a gracious creature, and reconciles poor mortality to itself and that is what few things can do.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Good wine needs neither bush nor preface to make it welcome. And they drank the red wine through the helmet barr'd.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

God in his goodness sent the grapes
To cheer both great and small;
Little fools will drink too much
And great fools none at all!

The man who is deserving the name is the one whose thoughts and exertions are for others rather than for himself.
