Arrows


When bows were bent, and darts were thrawn, For thrang scarce could they flee; The darts clove arrows as they met, The arrows dart the tree. Sir John Bruce.—Hardyknute, 2 Percy Reliques, 109.	1
In my school-days, when I had lost one shaft, I shot his fellow of the self-same flight, The self-same way, with more advised watch To find the other; and, by adventuring both, I oft found both. Shakespeare.—Merchant of Venice, Act I. Scene 1. (Bassanio to Antonio.)	2
ART.—To me more dear, congenial to my heart, One native charm, than all the gloss of art. Goldsmith.—Deserted Village, Line 253.	3
And, even while Fashion’s brightest arts decoy, The heart distrusting asks, if this be joy? Goldsmith.—Deserted Village, Line 263.	4
Art is long and time is fleeting, And our hearts though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums are beating Funeral marches to the grave. Longfellow.—Psalm of Life, Verse 4.	5
