Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or net:

“A great work by an Englishman is like a great battle won by England. It is an unfading bay tree.”

the webs, all bloody and gluey;
you with your twelve tongues and twelve wings
beating, wresting, beating, beating
your way out of childhood,
that airless net that fastened you down.”
