Armed Men

Famous quotes containing the words armed men, armed and/or men:

    it pleaseth me when I see through the meadows
    The tents and pavilions set up, and great joy have I
    When I see o’er the campana knights armed and horses arrayed.

    And it pleaseth me when the scouts set in flight the folk with
    their goods;
    And it pleaseth me when I see coming together after them an host of
    armed men.
    Bertrans De Born (fl. 12th century)

    it pleaseth me when I see through the meadows
    The tents and pavilions set up, and great joy have I
    When I see o’er the campana knights armed and horses arrayed.

    And it pleaseth me when the scouts set in flight the folk with
    their goods;
    And it pleaseth me when I see coming together after them an host of
    armed men.
    Bertrans De Born (fl. 12th century)

    And life, the flicker of men and moths and the wolf on the hill,
    Though furious for continuance, passionately feeding, passionately
    Remaking itself upon its mates, remembers deep inward
    The calm mother, the quietness of the womb and the egg,
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
