Quotations for shady

Her angel's face,
As the great eye of heaven shined bright,
And made a sunshine in the shady place. [ Spenser ]

O days remembered well! remembered all!
The bitter sweet, the honey and the gall;
Those garden rambles in the silent night.
Those trees so shady, and that moon so bright.
That thickset alley by the arbor closed.
That woodbine seat where we at last reposed;
And then the hopes that came and then were gone.
Quick as the clouds beneath the moon past on. [ Crabbe ]

Locked up from mortal eye in shady leaves of destiny. [ Crashaw ]

Ripening love is the stillest; the shady flowers in this spring, as in the other, shun sunlight. [ Jean Paul ]

Every street has two sides, the shady side and the sunny. When two men shake hands and part, mark which of the two takes the sunny side; he will be the younger man of the two. [ Edward Bulwer-Lytton ]
