Battle Trance

Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or trance:

    Much have I seen and known—cities of men
    And manners, climates, councils, governments,
    Myself not least, but honored of them all—
    And drunk delight of battle with my peers,
    Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.
    I am a part of all that I have met;
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    My trance frightens them,
    breaks the dance,
    empties the market-place;
    if I but pass they fall
    back, frantically.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
