Orion's Cold Fire

And darest thou then

To beard the lion in his den,

The Douglas in his hall?

Sir Walter Scott

O, Woman! in our hours of ease,

Uncertain, coy, and hard to please,

And variable as the shade

By the light quivering aspen made;

When pain and anguish wring the brow,

A ministering angel thou!

Sir Walter Scott

If you keep a thing seven years, you are sure to find a use for it.

Sir Walter Scott

A miss is as good as a mile.

Sir Walter Scott
