More From William Shenstone
- "Grandeur and beauty are so very opposite, that you often diminish the one as you increase the other. Variety is most akin to the latter, simplicity to the former."
- "Anger is a great force. If you control it, it can be transmuted into a power which can move the whole world."
- "The lines of poetry, the period of prose, and even the texts of Scripture most frequently recollected and quoted, are those which are felt to be preeminently musical."
