Armour Piercing Bomb

Famous quotes containing the words armour, piercing and/or bomb:

    “Saint, do you weep? I hear amid the thunder
    The Fenian horses; armour torn asunder;
    Laughter and cries. The armies clash and shock,
    And now the daylight-darkening ravens flock.
    Cease, cease, O mournful, laughing Fenian horn!”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Old, aching God, grey with endless care,
    calmly piercing evil’s new disguises,
    glad of good surprises, wiser than despair
    Hail and Hosanna, old, aching God!”
    —Brian Wren (b. 1936)

    “Gracious Lord, oh bomb the Germans.
    Spare their women for Thy Sake,
    And if that is not too easy
    We will pardon Thy Mistake.
    But gracious Lord, whate’er shall be,
    Don’t let anyone bomb me.”
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
